What nifty pocket sized bobbin winder?  Sounds like the sort of gadget  
we all need in our lace boxes!!

I believe that she is referring to John Beswick's bobbin winder.  His 
business is Torchon House and he's in Australia.  It's ideal for 
having in your tool bag when traveling with lace, because it's so tiny 
and takes very little room.  And it really does work - although not as 
fast as the other winders.


Clay in wet, wet, Virginia - where it's supposed to clear off for next 
week!!  Hooray!!

[lace] bobbin winders

2009-06-18 Thread Alan Sheila Brown
A number of us in Britain have made one  from the little battery-driven 
fans.  The method was in Lace about 20 years ago. Needs one fan, a 
Guttermann empty bobbin and 2 AA batteries.

Sheila in Sawbo' which is now dull, awaiting the rian.

Sheila,

Do you or anyone else have the directions for these bobbin winders?  I have 
one of these fans and would like to try to make a winder like this.  Any and 
all help would be greatly appreciated.

I'll get in touch with a friend to lend me her copy of Lace that has the 
instructions in it. My back copies are all in Bury St.Edmunds Library. 
I'll  send them as an attachment, hopefully over the weekend.
