I wind a certain amount (pure guesswork!) onto a bobbin shuttle and then re-wind onto another bobbin alongside the thread off the spool without cutting so that it's a double thread with a loop. I cut then and if I want a third thread I again wind the doubled threads off that bobbin alongside another thread off the spool onto another bobbin. Does that sound complicated? Well it isn't really. The 'trick' is to keep a careful eye on the tension as you're winding them up. Well worth the trouble to get glorious colours.Jane Eborallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05129528958253092545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27740357.post-15095938266794840172011-11-03T12:57:08.877+00:002011-11-03T12:57:08.877+00:00Lovely pendant, gorgeous colours.

When I tried it (only once), I looped it around a door handle and doubled it back for say 20 feet. Wound it carefully. When I tatted a couple times the threads separated with the shuttle going between them and I really had a hard time getting it back even. This was a post style shuttle, maybe a 2 or 3 bobbin shuttle would work better.

I would never trust tatting like that. I actually join to the metal part as I go along. The metal is from earrings I bought (in a sale) last year and I got 9 pieces from each earring. They make fantastic pendants.Jane Eborallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05129528958253092545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27740357.post-77720643735983792952011-11-03T09:18:09.102+00:002011-11-03T09:18:09.102+00:00Hi Jane
