Some of my favourite bobbins were made by Tim Parker in the early
80's. At the time he was teaching woodwork at the local boys school.
When he gave up teaching he became a general supplier and sadly
stopped turning bobbins a little while later. I believe Paul Durst
passed away in the late 80´s, I have a couple of his bobbins which are
nearly always on a pillow. Archer bone bobbins are always on a pillow
along with some wooden one made Ray Brown who was the husband of my
lace teacher all those years ago. Diane Miller´s painted bobbins
always get loads of admiration at Lace Days.
Using bobbins when you know who made them always makes making lace
more personal and, for me, more pleasurable. I often amaze people who
admire my bobbins by telling them all about the person who made them.
