Hi Helen ! I also was smitten with the glass bobbin fever a few years ago! Like Margot, I loved the sound of the bobbins. But one day, four hit the floor at the same time and broke (can't remember the details of that disaster!) Lucky for me, the maker promised to mend any I broke, so I had them mended, and then promptly broke another one. Since then, I've been discouraged about using them, AND have pretty much moved to continental bobbins anyway.
So the short answer to your question is that these bobbins aren't any more expensive than others, but they are more fragile, so the expense will be in breakage.

Anyway, I've just used the glass bobbins I got for my birthday a few weeks ago. How expensive is my new-found glass bobbin obsession likely to end up being (I'm in the UK)? And can you tell me the names of any recommended suppliers? Thanks, Helen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Helen in Somerset, UK "Forget the formulae, let's make lace" -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
