Tatting & Beer 1 January 25, 2021UncategorizedKaren Bovard Me, tatting and drinking a sampler of beers while waiting for a friend to come I like dark (porters & stouts) and hoppy (IPS’s) beers. I rarely have more than a pint of beer at a time, that is why I love these sampler flights of beer. I get to taste several beers at one time and not have to commit to one. This is especially important in that the beers I like are very carb/calorie dense. My ‘sampler design’ in which I sample tat various colors of thread together to see if they match in size. Even thread colors from the same manufacturer may not pass my ‘split ring test’ which may be due to what the different dye process does to the fibers. Dark colors are especially troublesome and are usually ‘thicker’ that lighter-colored threads.
