[@kittykat717]

As a knitter I know about those tools that came in the box. As someone new to tatting I appreciate your fabulous hacks. thank you so much.

[@WonderfullyFashioned]

So glad it was helpful 🥰

Just a tip on the ball winder. Put your original ball of thread in a bowl and it wont roll around so much and pick up dirt and pet hair. On a ball the size you showed I use a fairly big deep mixing bowl.

[@WonderfullyFashioned]

Oh good idea! Thanks for the tip 🥰

[@veliatorrez6523]

Thank you. I do needle tatting so yhis very informative. Just getting back to tatting so a beginner I am. Take care.

My daughter was my dealer with a gateway tiktok video. Next thing I knew, I was furiously collecting videos and books. I even fell so far as oggling antique shuttles. I don't know what's next for me. 😂 seriously, your videos are great thank you

Those little things are to put on the end of needles so stitches don’t fall off. The red thing is row counters. After each row finished turn the dial.

[@WonderfullyFashioned]

Nice, thank you! 🥰 Like I said, I’m terrible at knitting lol 😂 maybe those things would have helped.

[@iwantmy_sk844]

Pretty interesting! (...+I never knew before, that 🤭*Katy Perry* was interested in these things!😂🤣) [ I bet youve heard a comment like that, once or twice b4, huh?🤗]

Instead of taping toilet paper core on the winder- just fold 1 end of tube inward & push that end onto the wider. It holds it tight & makes the height match the winder.

[@WonderfullyFashioned]

Oh great idea!! Thank you for sharing 🥰

[@chellee]

Just a fyi, they make countertop toilet paper holder stands if you don't want to build one for yourself. They are like paper towel holders, but smaller.

[@WonderfullyFashioned]

Oh my goodness that would have been so much easier! 😂 I made my first one of these like ten years ago. Wish I’d have known that then 😆 thanks for the info!

[@Bbernieb2]

Your cone shaped bits go on the end of your knitting needles!

[@WonderfullyFashioned]

Ahhh well there ya go. Thanks!! 🥰

[@lizfitzgerald4377]

Can’t you just stick the yarn ball on the toilet paper holder without rewinding?

[@WonderfullyFashioned]

You can, but the ones I buy just don’t work well without rewinding them. They get caught super easy around the tops and bottoms of the yarn ball, so I just find it easier to wind them straight so they don’t catch. But whatever works best for you, do it! 🥰💕

[@reginablevins8550]

It would be great if you could then use a drill to spin the yarn thread onto the paper tube

[@lettielou4148]

Reel toilet paper has great tubes, much thicker and sturdier than others.

[@sharontabor7718]

Why would you need to rewind your thread onto another tube? You just pull the thread off the purchased ball. I've been tatting for over 30 years and Never had tangled thread - ever. Why in the world would you unwind, create a loose skein, then rewind? Total waste of time. There is absolutely No use for a yarn winder in tatting.

[@WonderfullyFashioned]

To each his own, I suppose. I’ve found that when I tat off the ball it can get tangled and the skeins also just take up a lot of space, especially when you have a lot of them like I do for my business. If this is not useful to you, then no worries. Have a nice day. 😊

[@lessiansaralonde620]

well thats a few minutes I wont get back. She unwinds a ball into a skein, then buys and makes a gadget to re ball it. How is that a tatting hack? I clicked this because I was expecting stuff to do with tatting.
