Thread
My favourite thread for my shuttle tatting projects.
This is where I buy most of my tatting thread from that I regularly use in my work. The thread itself is strong and smooth, making it perfect for tatting and also crochet.
Lizbeth Thread - Size 20 (UK)
A fun thread from Handy Hands. It's three colours plied together, something I haven't seen with any other tatting thread. (UK based supplier.)
Lizbeth Twirlz 20 - Roseground (UK)
A great thread thickness for beginner tatters. It's thicker than the size 20 which makes it easier to see the stitches.
Lizbeth Thread - Size 10 - UK
This thread is similar to Lizbeth thread and sometimes I combine them in my tatting (tatting with the two threads as though they are one thread).
The thread I regularly use in my work. It's strong and smooth, perfect for tatting. (Affiliate link.)

Yarn
Some lovely yarn I've used for loom knitting, Tunisian crochet and weaving projects.
A lovely inexpensive yarn to work with. I'm currently using it in a weaving project.
Stylecraft Special DK | LoveCrafts
A lovely yarn that works well with Stylecraft Special DK.
Stylecraft Bambino Prints | LoveCrafts
A mercerised cotton yarn with a lovely sheen. I used this for a woven scarf and it was great to work with.
Rico Essentials Cotton DK
Another lovely cotton yarn from Rico. This one is non-mercerised so has more of a matte sheen.

I adore this shop! Her fibres are so soft and are in fabulous colours. Highly recommended.

Merino wool. This is a lovely fibre that's easy to spin.
23mic 64's Merino
Superfine merino wool. This is one of my favourite fibres to spin. A bit more slippery than the 23mic merino but so, so soft!
Superfine 18.5mic 100's Merino
Great fibre to work with. I'm working on a hand spun, hand woven scarf using this and I love it how it's looking!

A lovely UK company stocking hand dyed fibre and more.
