Yes, Noelene, that's all I received of Ruth's message too.... These bobbins aren't a new invention. They are illustrated in many of my history books, usually from European bobbin makers. The cover over the thread is designed to keep the thread clean.

There is still something in our mailing system truncating some messages coming to me via lace@arachne.com. All I received of Ruth's message just sent was a "b" in the body of the message, so I looked it up in the archives, and as the subject is so interesting, thought I would pass it on here in plain text so others that this happens to might read it. I've never seen bobbins like this before, Ruth, and they are very interesting. It would be good to hear from anyone who has used them. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
