The ideal bobbin to make honiton lace is a honiton bobbin.
with a smooth, smooth finish! If you have not yet purchased your bobbins, I would highly recommend that you buy them all from the same maker. (These were the instructions I was given when I started, and I still agree with them today) Pay close attention to the head...you want it to be very smooth there especially.
I wholeheartedly agree with Debbie on this - I started making Honiton with 50 matching CHEAP Honiton bobbins .They were a starter pack and in a way they were fine, but I really noticed the difference when I was given a batch of beautifully smooth Malcolm Fielding bobbins. The threads no longer snapped on sight! It helps to have them all the same weight as each other.
