Shuttle Tatting

Tatting is a form of lace that is very strong in structure. It is really sturdy especially when it’s done with shuttle. With shuttle you can make the finest and the tightest durable tatted masterpieces.

Shuttle tatters wrap the thread around one hand and manipulate the shuttle with the other hand to create special knots. Hundreds of knots are tied to form rings, loops and chains.

Shuttles

Every tatter will need more than two shuttles. Shuttles come in a variety of shapes and materials.

My remark

Advantages: 

• the finest and the tightest form of tatting 
• the strongest tatted lace 
• the smallest degree of stretch 
• you can work with very thin threads 
• more possibilities to use different ways to tat

Disadvantages: 

•  it is hard to correct mistakes (sometimes not possible) because shuttle tatting does not unravel
• the slowest technique 
• for some of you can seem difficult to learn

Shuttle tatting is better suited to finer and more traditional lacemaking.
