It's done in DMC perle 8. I'm rather disappointed with this thread. It's pricier than the Venus crochet cotton I normally get, so I expected better quality. Instead the dye doesn't go to the core of the thread, so little white blips show through.
I was making these clunies privately, in the wee quiet hours of the morning. I was getting comfortable, so I popped it into my bag to tat-on-the-go. This was a bad idea. Let me show you...
Clearly, my clunies aren't quite ready for public life.
I think it's quite pretty and I love the color! :)
ReplyDeleteNice Rose du Noel! I think you did a great job.
ReplyDeleteYour cluny's look lovely.
ReplyDeleteLOL! That's the problem with big projects. Everyday when you do a part of it, it reflects you that day; so one part will be wonky, one part will be too tight and never really often, perfect. Well at least with me it happens like that LOL
ReplyDeleteOh by the way, I think tatting with 'soft' thread like perle is really hard, especially on getting the tension right. Try tatting cotton which is slightly 'stiffer'. Makes a difference for us beginners. Try it. Leave the perle cottons to the pros :D
