Shuttle Tatting - Regular Cluny

[@meganmills6545]

Well, now that I've watched at least 6 of your videos in a row and given them all thumbs up, I've subscribed. Every video is excellent. And if anyone actually marketed that loom, I would buy it in a heartbeat. It's lovely, and useful - the best combination! (Thank you for the lovely example you made Noo Bear's Dad!)

[@NooBearAus]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy the videos - I do get a little spoilt by my Dad!

I am part of a tatting association in Sweden. And about 25 years Aho there was a member who made each a small pillow , that was fastened around the thigh at knee height which was to make it easier to make cluny. The threads were held in place with pins.

That's very interesting!

[@blackstar4735]

I cannot stress how thankful I am that you make these videos. I am learning tatting all on my own and have yet to find a good group to bounce things off of or learn from. I've only watched 2 or 3 videos, but I subscribed and will continue to keep up with you! Again, thank you for posting these videos!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@NooBearAus]

You can do it! I am also completely self taught and had the same problem of not having a group (or a single person!) to ask for help. Where are you located? I am starting zoom classes soon if you're interested. SO happy you're enjoying the videos!

@@NooBearAus I'm in Oklahoma. I've tried a couple of Facebook groups, but they're so strict on every single post, it's disheartening.

Thank you, Monique! I've seen other videos where the instructor natters on about how difficult Clunys are...but you made it simple and fun. I've just finished my first project with Clunys, and I've only been tatting for 30 years. LOL

[@NooBearAus]

You gave me a giggle with your description of 'natters on' - I'm so pleased you enjoyed the video. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I don't think anything in tatting is 'difficult'. It's a matter of practice, following a process and logical thinking.... in my humble opinion! 😉

That loom is gorgeous.

[@NooBearAus]

Thank you. I am very lucky!

I love❤️ your videos. You are so precise and we don't have to wade through a lot of extra fluff to get the info. I also love that your dad made your wooden loop holder for you. What a sweet dad you have! For those of us who don't have a creative daddy like yours, we could use just a regular wooden hair stick (aka hair pic). I usually just use a tatting needle or a tapestry needle for a loop holder or even just a pin of some kind to keep the loop from twisting into a knot when I pull it. But I really like your wooden loop holder so now I think I have another function for my hair sticks. I really like that your wooden loop holder starts out thicker at the top and comes down to a point as do many hair sticks. I was thinking if your dad made one in graduated steps instead of a slope you could also use it for making measured picots. Just a thought. 👍

Thank you! My Dad is AMAZING... also helps when you're the only girl You can use 'whatever works' as a loop holder, some tatters don't use a loop holder at all but I find it a lot easier when I do use one.

Another brilliant tutorial, so informative.

[@NooBearAus]

Thank you!

[@marciasilviajohnson6461]

Thank you for the excellent demo, now I know how to do it. The loom is my goal, I don’t even try the hand , why suffer 🤗

[@NooBearAus]

Haha EXACTLY!! As you can see, my clunies are so much better on a loom.

[@ritad673]

You never cease to AMAZE me! This is an incredible video! I love learning new things and your instructions are always so concise. I'd like to try this, but with a loom, so I will devise something. You are so fortunate to have a loom made by your father. Also, your shuttle is so pretty. Are those shuttles available for purchase?

[@NooBearAus]

Hehe, thank you! My Dad tends to spoil me a little (not that I'm complaining!😆) Did I mention that he made my shuttle and my wooden 'loop holder' - I'm not sure what you'd call it! I'm sorry, he doesn't make them to sell; only because he's flat out with other things.

[@ritad673]

@@NooBearAus I actually suspected that it was hand made! Bless his heart. It's really a beautiful piece of art.

Thank you. I love it. What part of the world are you from?

Thank you so much! I'm very happy you enjoyed the video.

Query...I loom knit as well as do tatting...do you think one of my knitting looms would work? I've never been able to do Clunys before and I'm hoping you'll say yes.

[@NooBearAus]

hmm - I'm not a knitter so I don't really know; but I cant' see why not. In reality all you need are 'stable pegs' that you can loop your warp thread around.

[@annamariaobrien5980]

Hi there, does your loom have specific measurements or thst doesn't matter? Thanks

[@NooBearAus]

Hi Annamaria, There are no specific measurements, I think you just need your pegs to be 'a comfortable width' apart. If it helps, my pegs are 3.5cm (1.5") I measured from the centre of each peg. I would also suggest having a heavy base, or sitting the base on some grip mat so that the loom doesn't slip forward as you pull on the warp threads to keep them taut. I hope that helps!

[@annamariaobrien5980]

@@NooBearAus thanks a million, I made one from some leftover wood from my father in law's workshop. Works like a charm :)
