I don't know how to impart the knowledge of how I use my senses in identifying lace and other things. I don't think its possible.😅
Identifying real crochet lace and tatted lace is possible and important.
If you see it in a store with a price tag on it and the price is too low, its either fake crochet/tatting, or it was made in a sweatshop. (There's a lot of sweatshop tatting...)
Becoming familiar with these types of lace can help in identifying sweatshop Brands.

Was halten wir von der Farbkombi für die letzte Runde (gelb/grün)?
Yay / Nay?
In echt tendiert das Gelb eher zu Curry als zu Eidotter.

You can actually make your own #tatting shuttle.🤔 So it is a fiber craft, that you could do almost anywhere, even if you're dropped in the wilderness with nothing but an old sock to unravel and a stiff leaf.
If I didn't have a pencil and paper, I could even tat a message to those that find my bones. "food lost in storm, radio dead, throw remains in ocean. Don't read my fanfiction." I'd probably need to re-learn cursive.. xD

Fluffy dog says it's time to get a little sleep, but I have done a little shuttle tatting from this tutorial. Some said it takes about 2 weeks to figure out, but I'm just that amazing.🕶️
Or it's a good tutorial. Judging by my long history of densness, I think think it's the tutorial.😅 #tatting

I love shuttle tatting. I actually prefer shuttle tatting to needle tatting. Shuttle tatting is a little harder than tatting with a needle. Since I've already done a needle tatting post I decided to do a post about shuttle tatting for beginners. Tatting is a beautiful old-fashioned art and it has been around for centuries.
