BellaOnline Forums Hobbies and Crafts Tatting Silk Threads

Hi,

Does anyone have any suggestions as to a good silk thread to use for tatting, preferably one that is fairly easy to source in Australia. I have used the Gutermann silk thread but it is just a little too fine for the work I have in mind. Your ideas would be appreciated. - Buzby

I don't tat but what about Kreinik Silk Serica?

Julie,

Many thanks for the info, I had completely forgotten about the Kreinik products. Had a look at the website you recommended and found KV4 was recommended for tatting and a few other silk threads for lace making.

Hi Beverly -

I do all sorts of needle arts, and while I don't tat, I'm interested in it and occasionally read the forum. There's all sorts of overlap between different types of needlework and I find it worthwhile to talk with people who do types that I don't. I also collect old stitchery implements, so it helps me know what things are when I run into them at the thrift store.
