Historical Folk ToysMy First Tatting Kit

I like to knit yarn so thought I would try something new like knit lace. I appreciated the kit as it comes with everything to get you started. Lots of videos to help you learn on YouTube. Good, comprehensive starter kit.

Yes, it's fine. I wanted to get back into tatting. Thank you.

I've been wanting to try tatting so now I'll have the opportunity.

There is not a lot to this kit... a shuttle, directions and some tatting cord/floss/thread. This is all you need to get started with this ancient craft. While popularized in the early 19th century, the tradition is much older. 4 not 5 stars because the price is a little much for this kit.

Directions are difficult to follow. Thanks tried many times before resigning to not be able to follow them. Amazon will not allow a return.

Happy with my purchase

exactly as I had hoped

I'm very disappointed. I understand that the shuttle color may vary, as depicted in the description but I was NOT expecting a bright neon green Clover brand shuttle. I would've just bought a Clover brand shuttle if that's what I wanted. I was expecting a "historical folk toy" as described. I was expecting, even if plastic, a brown or white color immitating wood or bone or a turtle shell look alike as shown in the picture. Instead I got a neon green plastic Clover mini. I basically paid 4 times the amount for a shuttle that's sold in every craft store across the country. I've never felt so swindled. Waste of time and an unbelievable waste of money. I wonder if Clover company is aware that their products are being re packaged and sold with an astronomical mark up...
