Hi Arachnids,
For lace with numerous sewings I like to use Duchesse or Bruges bobbins
depending on the weight of the thread. For very fine thread I will use
Honiton bobbins especially if a large number of bobbins are needed as they
are slim and one can accommodate many bobbins on the pillow.
For continues laces I use either the Midlands (spangled) bobbins or a set of
the above (according to thread weight) whichever is free at the time. I like
to use the continental bobbins as I can flick them rather than having to
lift them as is necessitated by the spangles. The former allows me to work a
little quicker.
Happy lace making,
Joepie in East Sussex, UK
