Question
could you please tell me where i can get a tatting needle are they special needles or what thank you so much i'd appreciate it
Hi brenda,
I think you are a little confused. tatting does not use a needle, it is done by knots that are slid on a strand of yarn or thread. tatting uses a shuttle.
there is a variation of tatting called needle tatting that uses a long blunt needle like that ones found in the afghans made by weaving yarn through a lace type canvas.
lacis.com will most likely have any supplies that you might be looking for.
