Tatting tutorial ~ HappyLFuturi crochet

Technology tatting is based solely on Knotting. The thread is fed with small bobbins, placed in the shuttle body, and processed with both hands.

The right hand holds a hook and leads it around the thread, which pulls from the spool and hold taut the left hand. As a result of processing only one thread obtained the series of nodes, formed in a circle and bow. From one part of the drawn filament arises stem, from another braid rod, like a looped stitches, alternately face, then purl. Both parts together give a double hinge assembly.

The guidelines for the development of Tatting he is called simply "double bind." Sign Tatting is continuous, without gaps, the connection of units and the formation of some nodes of the arcs and circles. Shuttle is used as a tool for both content and delivery thread like Bobbin when receiving bobbin lace.

Originally the shuttles were larger and employed with a more rough than it is now a thread. In 18. When all kinds of lace started making out fine linen thread, shuttles have become smaller and sleeker. Usually they were made of metal, and sometimes - of porcelain or ivory. Were used and shuttles from the tortoise-shell, finished with metal or nacre. Now these canoes are made mostly of bone or plastic.

The most suitable raw material for Tatting is a twisted yarn, as well as Uzelkov yarn of flax, cotton or silk. In addition to the shuttle used another support tool - crochet hook, and sometimes - quite thick sewing needle.

Each kind of lace has a story his way through the centuries. Sometimes, it can be seen clearly and distinctly, and, at times, completely lost. Many references are ambiguous and their interpretation are sometimes difficult due to the fact that they have to repeatedly transfer. First, from the ancient language into modern, then the languages of those countries where translations of the books out. Of course, this could have been avoided if those who undertook the research, owned the original version. But this is not always possible. Therefore have to settle for translated editions.

Modern researchers have come, sometimes, to quite unexpected conclusions. Everyone knows the great works of ancient - Greek poet Homer's blind "Odyssey." One episode tells the story of how Penelope - wife of Odysseus' long deceived their husbands. She promised to give an answer when the veil weaves a funeral for his mother in law. The essence of the fraud was that night, she disbanded her day job. However, on the loom is very difficult to dismiss made, it takes almost more time than the new netting, in addition, significant traces remain. It is very likely that Penelope is not weaving, and knitting a blanket on the needles as a knitted fabric can be easily and quickly dissolve without any visible traces. And like a lot of mistakes.

For the foregoing reasons, little is historical material. More likely to be put forward the theory of "Eastern" origin of the lace. Since the shuttle was invented by the peoples of the East and was named "Manuk. In Europe, it first appeared in Spain, where it was called occhi (okko, ie the eye), since the Spanish lace, made by the shuttle, consisted mainly of rings having an oval shape that resembles the shape of the eye. In Germany it is called lace Schiffchenspitze (shpittsen Schiff) - shuttle weaving or shuttle lace .

In England, tatting (tetin of "tat" - tat) - tatting. The origin of the French word frivilite (tatting) in two ways. On the one hand: "frivole" - "empty" can be attributed to the structure of lace - loose, with large, empty holes, the other is the same word can be translated as "frivolous", which in turn can be attributed either to the general levity of any decoration or to the characterization of the ladies of high society, engaged in needlework. Indeed, it was very popular in these circles, becausedid not require a large concentration and allowed to empty, frivolous conversation. Anyway, in Russia shuttle lace came from France, and therefore we call it "tatting."

Particularly fashionable tatting was the XVII century. Woven in this technique laces were made of more coarse than other types of lace materials (even from a thin cord) were used to trim coats, skin furniture slipcovers, curtains, draperies.
At the end of the beginning of the XVII XVIII centuries, especially when it was fashionable to decorate clothing, even for men, lace collars and cuffs, frills, lace-trimmed skirts, aprons, bonnets, it was a privilege of nobility. Since the basic material for its production at the time were thin gold and silver thread.

But already in the middle of the XVIII century lace-read introduced silk and linen thread, in this connection, the lace-making is becoming more widespread. In Russian estates our masters with interest mastered the technique of weaving the western lace, complementing it with his findings.Unknown lace creating unique products, which were used by women of high society.

Gloves, bags, capes, umbrellas - that's an incomplete list of products is a mandatory membership of a society lady. Lace-making was taught at home, (skill handed down from mother to daughter), and in boarding schools, and institutes of noble ladies. Skills in embroidery, sewing, knitting, weaving was one of the duties of women. Needlework took with them at night, on a trip, we need only recall the novels of Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace, "" Anna Karenina ".
