Tatting Resources

I just compiled this list of links to resources for tatters for a tatter who I met on my recent trip to Scotland. Perhaps others who read this blog may find the information useful, too.

Craftree https://www.craftree.com/

Social media site for tatters. Lots of patterns, discussions, library. Free membership.

Facebook Groups

Local groups that I belong to:

·         Tri-Tatters https://www.facebook.com/groups/144185818933579/ -- the Triangle-area group of tatters. Monthly meetings in Raleigh. Membership is free.

·         NCRL - North Carolina Regional Lacers https://www.facebook.com/groups/128630100489278/

-- this group is out of Raleigh, but we have members from western part of Virginia and all over North Carolina. A lot of bobbin lace members, but we tatters are a growing in membership. Also supports other forms of lace making: knitted, crochet, needle lace. NCRL has a Spring Lace Day in Chapel Hill each year. Membership is $15/year, but membership is not required to attend the Lace Day vendor area.
