I am going through a bad time realizing how much I do not know and how handicapped I am by not being a lace maker :(
I have a special area of need that for a few reasons I am troubled about. It is probably best if a knowledgeable person and patient (very!) person who thinks that they can talk to me in idiot language, emails me personally. I need to get clear in my mind the "historical" use of (in simple, general terms) the following types of bobbins. I will need to know their use in geographical areas of England (Devon to east Midland) of the following types of bobbins ( I emphasize "in general" as I am sure I am asking a huge question) 1. Trailer and or trolly bobbins (Probably the the same) 2. Gimp bobbins 3. Tally bobbins and any other "special" bobbins on or near the pillow!. It might involve the type of lace even... who knows? I do know about quills and Yaks. (that at least is something!) Also you can assume that I know how to recognize these bobbins (I.e. 1,2,3) as a collector. Your very confused bobbin friend.
