There's anther lot of lace bobbins on ebay. More feasible as such that the
previous lot, but they're not for bobbin lacemaking. They could be for another

instance.
I think that they are handles to use with plastic supermarket bags. I've seen
these for sale by bobbin turners at lace fairs

frame I made. The pattern was bucks point, so quite fine and in the early
part of the pattern i did have one or two problems with it
