Seaweed HDT

Trying out my new shuttles and the cotton Size 80 seaweed hand dyed thread (HDT) from Lady Shuttle Maker. The bone shuttle has leaf shapes engraved on it. It heavier than the metal filigree shuttle. It makes nice click sounds when the thread is wound on the bone shuttle but no clicks on the metal shuttle. Both tats well. Will show you the finished tatting when I take a photo of it.

  1. OH how pretty! Pretty shuttles, thread and design. Once I master shuttle tattting with #8,#12 and 30 wt thread I would like to get some of her threads too. They sure are beautiful.
