Yes, I have a lovely set of "Out of Africa" bobbins made by Mike Bester! He does beautiful work. And John Beswick is known to me because of his wonderful little "travel winder". The others, I don't know...

I've really enjoyed this thread, with names I've not heard in a long time - if ever!!

Me too Clay. Let me add some of my favourites:-

- Mike BESTER of Sth Africa
- Graham JOHNSON of Ballarat, Australia (now deceased)
- Keith HUMPHRIES of Ballarat, Australia
- John BESWICK of Uriala, Sth Australia
- Trevor SEMMENS of Hobart, Tasmania, Australia

and there's one pair in particular I love which I got from an English maker, but whose name I never remember. I think you knew him Steph. These bobbins are very fine and have a slim hour-glass shape.
