Tarantula II

do you need to have alot fo expierence with regular loops to use Tarantula II?

Loop experience is nearly 100% unrelated to the Tarantula. Loops = Invisible ELASTIC Thread. Tarantula does not use IET. There is a small amount of crossover knowledge that would be helpful, but all in all knowing how to use Loops doesn't really affect your ability to use the Tarantula 2.

This might seem dumb, but I have little experience with ITRs... Do you need the hat to perform effects like in the promotional video??
 
Personally having owned several ITRs if you've never owned one before, the best part of something like this is - most reels come with zero teaching. So part of the expense is the video instruction.

I did a review for tarantula 2 here:

 
I’ve owned the T1...

My advice would be to buy a spool of thread first and play w IT before investing in T2

Spools cust next to nothing and give you an endless amount of thread to practice with

Learn about it, break it, stretch it, hang various things from it...etc etc

THEN get a reel
