Several years ago, at a Lace workshop, the hosts (Golden Bobbins in Charlotte!)
gave each of us a wonderful thing! It was made with two 1-yard lengths of 1/4"
ribbon, which had been braided in the same manner as the lanyards we used to
make in Scouts when we were young(er)!
The length is perfect for pinning bobbins down to secure them for travel. Or to
tie bundles of bobbins on holders together when using a lot of bobbins that
require creative bobbin management! I've made several more, and whenever I
have a lot of bobbins going at one time, they're in constant use. Thanks,
Myriah Lavin, who made them! And did I mention... They're very pretty!
A small bonus is that because you use two lengths of ribbon, you can
incorporate school colors if you happen to be in an area where there is a lot
of collegiate rivalry... such as the Eastern US which has so many excellent
schools in the ACC!!!
