>>>From: Lorelei Halley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The only problem is in making modified equipment large enough to handle the pattern and threads....Ordinary bobbins don't have enough storage space for such thick yarn. <<<
A friend made a shawl using fingering-weight yarn. She used spring-type clothes pins (for hanging laundry to dry). She held the pin open and wrapped the yard around one of the branches, then let the thing spring closed. That kept the bobbin from unwinding, instead of a hitch. Need to lengthen the thread, just open the spring and release a few more rounds. It worked well for her, although it did feel funny handling them instead of normal bobbins. Robin P.
