I have tried tapestry bobbins for a scarf in bobbin-lace, using yarn. Such bobbins are intended to be used on a vertical setup; on a slanting or flat bobbin lace pillow, I found them to be too 'pointy' and they rolled a lot. They should be ok on a bolster pillow.
There are other nice tools for weaving at the site Janice mentioned.
