One of the (many) people who (tried to) teach me tatting used a highly variegated thread. Not one of these gently-shading one-color threads, this was the color wheel in vivid, crayon-box hues. She color changes were abrupt enough, and close enough together, that you could pretty much guarantee that the core and the wrapper were two different colors. Easy to see if the knot was still made from the shuttle thread or had transferred to the working thread. Unfortunately, that wasn't really one of my problems. But it's a great idea for someone new to tatting. Robin P.
