I have seen, somewhere, a lace maker using the bottom of ice-cream containers, cut down to about 1 inch around the sides, but on 3 sides only, and the other side cut down to the bottom. It is then used as a scoop/tray for the bobbins, and can stack up on each other. They might be quicker to use.
Mark, those pieces you made with the Sulky threads are great. The colours blend so well without sharp colour changes. I like that. I have a few reels of the sulky cotton, but have only used them for needle lace, - so far! They certainly look good in bobbin lace.
