AIGUILLES FRIVOLITÉ + ENFILE AIGUILLE

For those who wish to learn or improve in the delicate art of needle tatting, this kit from DMC brings together everything necessary to get started with peace of mind. Tatting, this fine lace technique made from successive knots, requires precise tools adapted to each size of thread: this is exactly what this assortment of needles offers, designed to support all levels, from the curious beginner to the experienced lacemaker.

The set includes four needles of different sizes : an extra-fine n°8, a fine n°7, a medium n°5 and a large n°3, supplemented by a needle threader which greatly facilitates the passage of thread, even the finest. These needles are made of nickel-plated steel, a material appreciated for its resistance to oxidation and corrosion, guaranteeing good durability over time. Their slightly blunt tip and round eye, the same width as the rod, allow the line to slide smoothly without risking damage. Each size corresponds to a specific thread thickness: the finer the thread, the smaller the needle must be, in order to obtain regular knots and harmonious lace.

• Choose needle no. 8 for very fine threads such as special lace cording.
• Reserve No. 7 for diamond threads or fine pearl.
• Use No. 5 with medium-weight threads for more textured patterns.
• Opt for No. 3 with thicker threads to create lace with a more pronounced finish.
• Always keep the needle threader close at hand: it avoids a lot of inconvenience with the finest threads.

To prolong the pleasure of creation, combine these needles with DMC threads dedicated to tatting, such as the Special Cordonnet, the Cébélia or the Perlé, as well as a pair of small precision scissors to cut the threads cleanly at the end of the work. A pretty cotton thread will ideally complete your kit to start making jewelry, lace collars or delicate textile decorations, while showcasing the know-how of a recognized brand in creative haberdashery.
