I was told many years ago - I think by Bridget Cook - that the length of a
bobbin is about right which I guess it approximately 4 inches.

Subject: [lace] Question
I have been watching video footage of bobbin lace being made and noticed
the
very short amount of thread between last worked pin and the top of the
bobbin
and wondered what most of you all do. When I first began making lace I
think
I was told about 3 or 4 inches as a norm and must admit that anything
other
than 3 feels incredibly short. Most of what I do is torchon though and
wondered if this was the reason, a reasonable number of bobbins in use on
the
pillow where this was a tape type lace using less than 10 pairs I think.
