Attenborough, in a book entitled, The Craft of Tatting, “Tatting in its modern form is lace making at its most exquisite.” Attenborough explains that earlier tatting, an "age-old craft," was used to trim furnishings, but the craft evolved with the creation of modern threads in cotton and silk to include fashion. Collars, chokers, gloves, evening bags, and wedding dresses, to name only a few, featured tatted lace.
Granny’s box contains beautiful examples of this craft.
