Hi Fellow Arachnids,
My bobbins are mainly stored in bobbin bags which are flat and have narrow sections that take a pair of bobbins. Each bag which is slightly padded contains about forty or so pairs and the bags can be stored on top of one another. They are easy to carry and you can also use them for wound bobbins to take with you. They are sorted by type. If wound bobbins are stored I leave the thread label (or the reel/tube if not too thick) in the bag with the bobbins. I also have a good store of wooden cigar boxes -given to me some time ago by a smoker- which have been cleaned thoroughly and well-aired to get rid of the smell. On the end panel is marked which type of bobbins they contain. Again, they stack and being about the right length for bobbins -about 6 x 5 x 5 inches (15 x 12.5 x 12.5 cms) they contain many bobbins. Mind you, if I were to complete the projects in progress all at the same time I might be in trouble ;-) Happy lace making, Joepie in Beautiful East Sussex, UK where the sun is shining and it is warm!! I love it. From: Liz Redford Sent: âFridayâ, â26â âJuneâ â2015 â22â:â31 To: Lace Arachne I am wondering how you store your bobbins when they are not in use? Are you storing English Midlands or Continentals? - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
