I’ve been on an adventure in fiber lately. Nothing new, I know, but this adventure is designed (pun intended) to stretch my tatting skills. I prefer tatting in tight twist cotton. I have tatted in paracord, and boucle yarn. I decided to tat using a silk/bamboo yarn.
That’s the larger butterfly. The smaller butterfly is size 10. I tried several different movements of shuttle with the yarn. Some paths worked better than others. I tried tatting using my trusty size 5 needle. That worked, but again, I needed a different technique.
Now, if I channel Muskaan, I would meticulously post about
it all. I’m not up to that task. Muskaan, you have the stage.
I’ve decided to pull
together my thoughts, observations, and recommendations for a future class. If
you’re signing in to the Tatting Tuesday group, you’ll get the preview. If you
are interested, but not part of the study group, watch the class listings on
the Lace Museum website. I hope they’ll be interested in sponsoring a class
exploring these fiber options.
