The listing, Victorian Tatted Choker: Iridescent for the Holidays! has ended.
This is a handmade, tatted choker I just recently completed.
It is made with 100% Turkish "sparkle/silk" thread using a needle.
It measures 18 3/4" long and is 1/2" narrow at the longest point(s).
You can wear this tied in the front or the back.
It's hard to describe the overall color: I would have to say it reminds me of rainbow "glints" off of snow in the sunlight.
You can use a brooch as well as a closure or focal point as well as attach a pendant piece easily.
Beautiful for the holidays or wedding!
History of Needle Tatting: Needle tatting originated in the early twentieth century, but did not become popular until much later. A tatting needle is a long, blunt needle that does not change thickness at the eye of the needle. The needle used must match the thickness of the thread chosen for the project. Rather than winding the shuttle, the needle is threaded with a length of thread. To work with a second color, a second needle is used.Although needle tatting looks similar to shuttle tatting, it differs in structure and is slightly thicker and looser because both the needle and the thread must pass through the stitches.
