Lisbeth Premium Tatting Thread - 602 Natural

Lisbeth thread is a high quality thread specifically designed for tatting, made from 100% cotton as a 6-cord cordonnet. It's super-combed and mercerized for outstanding body and picots that hold their shape. The color of each ball is uniform without any white spots or uneven dye.

Please order all the thread you need for your project at the same time, since I can't guarantee color consistency across different dye lots.

Stephanie's notes

After making a few of my own projects with this thread, here's what I've found:

Excellent stitch definition: Lisbeth thread always has fantastic stitch definition, especially compared to looser-spun crochet cotton.

Blocks well: Blocking will help nearly any tatted piece, and you can often fudge imperfect picots or rings with a bit of strategic blocking. You can also re-block pieces as needed with clean water.

Be careful when picking out stitches: Mercerized cotton (and cotton in general) doesn't hold up well to being manipulated too much. Thread will abrade quickly, so don't expect thread that you've tatted, un-tatted, and re-tatted to look as clean and smooth as fresh thread. Thread is cheap. Your time is not. Don't sweat it.

May have knots: Because cotton is a natural fiber, thread balls may have knots in them. Carefully pick out the knots or just cut them out, then join your thread like you would usually do when adding new thread.
