RE:This discussion reminded me of a man who used to demo lacemaking at the State Fair. He made a set of bobbins from pencils.. round ones, cut to five inches, and with a thread area cut out. He wanted to show that expensive equipment was not necessary.
L.A.C.E. Fall Newsletter contains a photo of just that. Pencils with grooves cut out and used for makeshift bobbins. I did that for a group lesson and it worked out just fine.
