I find my bone bobbins are heavier than the wooden ones, so don't mix
the two in projects

Subject: [lace] Re: Pewter in bobbins
So sorry. Auto correct changed my subject from “pewter in” to “pestering”. I’ve
corrected it here so it will index properly.
Brian has kindly replied that there’s not much difference in weight with pewter
added.

Thank you, Brian, for making your bobbin photos and comments available to us.
I used the link and the first examples I saw were pewter enhanced. There’s been
a question rumbling in my mind for a while about the pewter. Does it add
noticeably to the weight of the bobbin? I see they are also spangled, which
adds weight, so I’m guessing the answer is no.
I’ve been frustrated with the large area taken up by bobbins and would love to
find something the size of a honiton bobbin but much heavier for use with
threads like Oliver Twist, Finca 12, etc. Might that be why the pewter was
added?

ending rain your way.
