She came for a couple of days to my town and gave me a wonderful thread - she said - that she was very confident that I could have liked tatting with.
Mad woman! (I know you're there reading!) It is Maidera Polyneon, 100% polyester, very thin embroidery thread. Tatting with it it's a true madness!! And what if I need to retrotat? Shivers down the back...
It is very strong, I've read that it's also resistant to chlorine bleach. Anyway, it is beautiful coloured and shining and I can't disappoint her, she is always very nice, she never forget to give me even a little gift. Thank you, dear friend!
Pattern is from a publication that I've had for many years, it was the first and only one tatting book that I had got for ages. I already tatted the doily some years ago using dmc size 80 thread, ecru and light blue.
Ciao,
Ninetta
Very lovely!
ReplyDelete...both!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colourway . Both your doilies look nice :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is very tiny thread, you are mad :) but looks so good and tempting too! You are thrill seeker with this tiny thread :)
ReplyDeleteBoth of them are very pretty. The new thread is a lovely color. I love using tiny threads, but polyester is often very difficult to tat with.
ReplyDeleteSounds daunting! Effective though.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, you're right I'm mad, thread is daunting and it looks lovely only with a magnifier! I loved all your comments!
ReplyDeleteLove,y colours, looks a handful, hope that does not happen too often

This is lovely, Ninetta! I like your old doily just a mini little bit better! But Bravo for tatting the new one with such a challenging thread!
