Have a look at the unusual bobbins in the first and especially the third
photo.
Here is the link to the maker's website

There is still something in our mailing system truncating some messages
coming to me via lace@arachne.com.
All I received of Ruth's message just sent was a "b" in the body of the
message, so I looked it up in the archives, and as the subject is so
interesting, thought I would pass it on here in
It certainly sounds very interesting! I like that you turn the bottom, which is
the bottom of the inside bobbin, to let out or take up your thread. Sounds like
a really good way to work with metallic threads. I hope somebody at the IOLI
convention this year will have one I can see ‘in the flesh’
Yes, Noelene, that's all I received of Ruth's message too
These bobbins aren't a new invention. They are illustrated in many of my
history books, usually from European bobbin makers. The cover over the
thread is designed to keep the thread clean.

I think youâre talking about hooded bobbins: I have one. The hood is a
hollow shell that rides over top of the threads, and floats free. There are no
holes in the hood other than at the top and bottom.
With this new-to-me type of bobbin, the outside part does not ride free, the
inside bobbin see
These use a similar idea to the bobbins that used little bought spools of
wound thread. A great improvement here that you are able to wind the
bobbins yourself.

This guy seems to have convinced some organisation that it is a new
invention by some of the notations I am seeing. (?patent?)
It probably qualifies, though undoubtedly it has its origins in historical
bobbins that are pre wound/ hooded etc..
It looks to me as if he has made some real improv
