needles in different packaging as it's unlikely any company would make
needles just for tatting."
When I started needle tatting I got a needle from the teacher - when I
looked for more tatting needles they were quite expensive, so I used doll
needles. The main difference is that the doll needles still have a point
whereas the points on the tatting needles are rounded. The other advantage
of tatting needles is that they come in different thicknesses.
Doll needles are great for 80 tatting cotton or a little thicker, but you
need the thinner tatting needles if you want to do anything finer.
