I was really not pleased with the first Starlight Doily, tatted totally with Lizbeth #80. It was a twisty mess and I had made a lot of stitch count errors.
So, I tried again, this time using DMC Cordonnett #80 and blue variegated Lizbeth, which I had in my thread box and knew it was a pretty good ball - smooth and non- twisty.
This one was so much easier to tat; I could see what I was doing; the tatting stayed flat and the threads had no slubs, twists; it did not break once.
The DMC is certainly a lovely thread to use.
Thats very pretty. I love the blue varigated.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting the difference the background makes. But your final piece is just lovely! The color combo is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! :)
ReplyDeleteYou know I love this one!
ReplyDeleteWell done, love it.
ReplyDeleteLove this pattern - and love the blue!
ReplyDeleteThis is really lovely. Great choice of colors.
ReplyDeleteGreat outcome! I'm using DMC cebelia for the leaf braid and it's a good thread too, smooth and well twisted without being kinky.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, the background makes a difference to the picture and shows the pattern better.
