Fabric – Tulle (Net) Honeycomb
Fabric – Tulle (Net) Honeycomb
$2.48 – $64.53 USD
Honeycomb tulle (net) has very even and pretty hexagon shapes and is higher quality than the standard dress making tulle which has irregular oval shapes.
I have two types of tulle (net) for hand embroidery,
- White polyester tulle is very fine and delicate and is the tulle that I use in my Carrickmacross Lace kits and Fine white Work kits There are 24 holes to the inch and is slightly stretchy.
- Antique white cotton tulle is soft and the threads making up the tulle are slightly thicker than the polyester tulle. There are 22 holes to the inch.and is slightly stretchy. The tulle is a little easier to work with as it is easier to see and firmer but not as delicate as the polyester tulle. The fabric comes washed and ironed to remove the sizing as the cotton tulle shrinks about 10%.

Needles – Tapestry
Tapestry needles have a blunt end to the point of the needle and is used for counted thread embroidery because the point of the needle does not catch or pierce the threads of the counted fabric when working from one hole to the next. The tapestry needle has a long eye for easier threading.
The needles I supply range from size 20 being the largest to size 28 being the finest. I use the No. 24 Tapestry needles in my Hapsburg Lace kits and the No. 26 and No. 28 Tapestry needles in my blackwork kits.
