Gentle Spiders,
This is a question for those of you who have made things like Bobbin
Lace scarves and belts/sashes. Since the thread/yarn for those is
likely to be thicker than usual, did you use bobbins that are larger
than "normal", or did you just re-fill your everyday bobbins more
frequently? And, if you used larger bobbins, where did you get them? Or
did you just improvise and make them yourselves?
The deeper I delve into the 16thc plaited laces, the more in love I am
with them and I'm (almost <g>) ready to try and make something
other/bigger than just a bookmark/sample, which is what I'll be doing
for pattern publication. But there's no way I can wind enough of thick
thread to make something that's a yard or more in length, onto my
"everyday" bobbins...
