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.


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.
