FREE: Victorian Tatted Choker: Variegated Reds

The listing, Victorian Tatted Choker: Variegated Reds has ended.

This is another tatted choker in variegated red threads that I finished. It's perfect for the holidays!

Red and/or 'diamond' stones can be added upon request.

It is made with Aunt Lydia thread (top of the line) and is 14" in length. To add elegance to it, I would add black satin cording at the ends with a Chinese slipknot as the closure.

It is free form yet uniform design that would compliment any outfit.

History of Needle Tatting: Needle tatting originated in the early twentieth century, but did not become popular until much later. A tatting needle is a long, blunt needle that does not change thickness at the eye of the needle. The needle used must match the thickness of the thread chosen for the project. Rather than winding the shuttle, the needle is threaded with a length of thread. To work with a second color, a second needle is used.Although needle tatting looks similar to shuttle tatting, it differs in structure and is slightly thicker and looser because both the needle and the thread must pass through the stitches.
