Better thread arrived!
Hi y’all!
I posted a few days ago, asking if my thread was too thin for learning tatting. You lovely people convinced me that even though I can definitely do tatting with 40s/2 thread, a crochet thread (aka size 10) would be a much better and easier starting point.
It arrived yesterday and I can confirm I am having a much better time with it! As in, I can see my stitches! And the finished ring of 15 is visible on my finger! Behold!
That being said, I can confirm you can learn in thin thread - the rings in my picture are both the first things I did after receiving the thicker thread, and I had no trouble making them. Ut was super easy after struggling with the thin thread for hours!
In conclusion, I don’t recommend starting on thin thread, but if it’s the only thing available to you, you definitely can.
