That's about how much size 10 Lizbeth I was able to wind on my new Sunlit shuttle. Not bad... I can tat a lot with 7 yds!
As you can see, I even have some thread left on the shuttle. There's quite a difference in the size of the finished motif (Flower Fragment from A Pattern Book of Tatting by Mary Konior). Size 3 thread is on the left, size 10 on the right.
I think I might have to try size 20 next!

having a difficult time leaving comments on blogs this evening .... errrr .... morning.
ReplyDeleteHow do you like the new shuttle? I have not purchased one (yet) and wondered how you like it?
Interesting to do the same motif in different size threads. And get to know your shuttle as you go!
ReplyDeleteWow. Rope tatting! That's pretty amazing.
ReplyDeleteLike you, I'm curious to see how many yards of size 20 fit on the shuttle. ....and size 30, and 40 and 80....and Perfect Quilter....and.... ;-) You've done some lovely tatting with such big thread.

That is very fun and interesting to see, I would love to see 20 40 or 80 next to the size 3 I just ordered some size 3 you must be a secret sales lady for them ha ha :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if size 3 thread will catch on, it could be very useful for some jewellery as is 10 already. Interesting seeing them both together
ReplyDeleteThis blue thread and your tatting is making me swoon. BOO-tiful...
ReplyDeleteYour motifs look wonderful!! :)
ReplyDeletePretty color too. I am not fond of the 10 (thickness) but to be fair I have not tried it in the lizbeth thread (which I love their 20 and 40). I ordered a couple of the sunlit and love them. They do hold a lot and without "gapping" like my clovers can do.
