-I use the ones I make myself that I crochet. It holds as many bobbins as I want and then I stack them. Bobbins never fall out or change places. Instructions. chain as long as you want, I do 40. Single crochet back . The next row is double crochet skip 1 double crochet repeat to the end. Single crochet the next row on each double crochet and space. Repeat the last 2 rows again and there you go.
Becca I use the tongue depressor/elastic band method a lot. It only takes a couple seconds to scoop one under a group of bobbins and hook the band over the other end. Then the bundles stack up fairly well, or at least lean against the pile of bundles. I guess, since I'm used to doing it, I seldom have a band not fasten, though I've known a few to fly through the air across the room if I don't hang on to them just right. I've tried layers of cloth but wasn't happy with it. I do it only in a pinch. Your question brought to mind the bobbin holder I got in Europe. It's a long U-shaped piece of wood with a long pin sticking out of the solid end. It's designed to scoop up a cluster of bobbins, and then be pinned upright on the pillow. It's a variation on the long brass pins used to scoop up bobbins and hold them vertically. In the U-shaped holder, the bobbins cannot fall out or get out of order. If I had more than one, it would be fun to test the theory. Maybe someone in Europe who has used these could comment. Alice in Oregon -- where we had a partly gray day but no rain.
