Tatting shuttles tend to be smaller and slightly more rounded, while knotting shuttles are longer and narrower. Tatting uses knots and loops to create a kind of lace, while knotting just creates a string of knots to be used as a decorative braid. :) <br /><br />Any knotters or tatters are welcome to weigh in!Isabella Bradford/Susan Holloway Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00997375216314200469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-10864851221621273392016-07-11T09:38:12.638-04:002016-07-11T09:38:12.638-04:00Is this a tatting shuttle?
