Jean, there is a place in the south of France that makes horn bobbins. It's in a little town called Revel, near Toulouse. The shop's name is La licorne" (The Unicorn), as "horn" is "corne" in French. I lived near there, and got talking with them one day and asked whether they had any bobbins. They said they didn't have any in stock, but they had regular orders from a lacemaker, and they were actually making some for her at the time. They showed me what they made, and my husband asked if they could make a pair for me as a birthday present, and they were quite happy to.The style was a bit like the Normandy bobbins. They said they would be happy to make any style if they were given a model. The only catch is that they are fairly pricey. If I remember, the ones I got cost about 15-20 euros each. If you're interested, email me, and I will send you the address and phone number. The funny thing was that we were told they got their horn from Australia as it was the best quality...:-)) helene, the froggy from Melbourne Find local movie times and trailers on Yahoo!
