Hi Lynn,
It sounds like you have a winder for the bobbin that goes into a boat shuttle
for weaving. I have one too from long ago weaving days and was able to get
an attachment which pushed onto the "prong" as you sayit is wooden and
makes it like a German winder I have into which you "push

Hello all,
I have but a simple question that maybe someone could help me with. I have a
Swedish bobbin winder that I for the life of me can't figure out how to use.
I think that I need a different end piece to grab the bobbin, but instead it
has a long prong (for lack of a better word) so I figur

Why, THANK you, Miss Bev, for your nice response to my note! It was doubly

I have this also. I thought it was costly for a simple device just to hang
bobbins, but also thought I should get one to go with the pocket winder.
Like a set ;)

proven itself, that (up to 48 comfortably) pairs of bobbins can be

I have the adapter, and it works well for my Binche bobbins.

There is an "adaptor for continentals" available from John Beswick for his
bobbin winder. As I only use Midlands, I don't have one of these, so I
can't say how well it works.
The best way to get in touch with the Beswicks from overseas would be to

I mostly use antique Maltese turned bobbins which are elaborate continentals
varying from 4 inches to about 5 and a half inches in length. The turning is
very rarely identical on these bobbins. I am also using Italian and Czech
bobbins. I use the spangled bobbins only for miniature work, although I

Hi Karen -
I'm sorry to hear that your thumbs are causing you problems!
I have one of John Beswick's winders, and it is a clever gadget. But...
before I go in to any report on its abilities (or not) to wind all bobbins, it
would probably be better to hear from you what bobbins you are havin
Hello Carol
I could only find two hanging bobbins listed. Anne Swift is a very well
known and reputable dealer in lace and bobbins. JimBob what not!! has been
selling a collection for a few weeks including some rather nice bobbins but
I don't know anything about the person.
Though I'm a grea
Please can we have more details of John Beswick's bobbin-winder.
I have a bobbin winder of the locally produced type and I find that it does
not hold all types of bobbins correctly. So, you guessed, I need another one
that will hold all kinds of bobbins properly. At present I am winding

Hello Carol in Suffolk and eveyone else,
I think, Carol, you are justified to be sceptic. As you said, very few
genuine "hanging bobbins" were made. A good source of info is Christine
Springett's book "Success to the lace pillow".

Hi All,
I am wondering if anyone else is as cynical as I seem to be!
There are three bobbins which purport to be 'William Worsley Hanging Bobbins'
on eBay in the UK at present. As a matter of principle I wouldn't consider
bidding for them, as I was under the impression that very, very few wer
Hi Sue et al,
I think Stuart Johnson sells the fansticks - I bought several fan prickings
from him earlier in the year (as well as some of his lovely bobbins ...) and
am almost sure he had the fansticks too.
Hope this helps - and is not completely erroneous!

Hello Aurelia and everybody,
It seems as if I missed something or I didn't understand. Why do we

some of us still do?

Variety is the "spice of life" and there is really "nothing new under the
