Tatting Supplies?

[honestgraft.livejournal.com]

Hello all!

I am a tatting novice & new member of the community. I finally had time to shop for tatting supplies today (mainly needles & thread). Unfortunately, our local Michael's does not carry tatting needles. I combed their notions aisle, but without any luck. When I asked an employee for help, she looked at me as if I were crazy! Was I looking in the wrong place? Is there a craft store better suited to tatting needs?

I would appreciate any suggestions. I am very eager to give tatting a try! Thank you.

Here in France I have never seen a tatting needle for sale anywhere! I buy 99% of my supplies on-line, and have had really good service. I can certainly recommend Handy Hands at

I haven't actually done needle tatting, only shuttle, but best luck anyway!

Awesome! Thank you for the link. I had no idea locating tatting supplies was so difficult. I feel as if I am joining a secret society. ;]
