Dear Arachnes,
I am enjoying this thread, and think I have now have a good Autumn project to

I'm not sure I have seen mention of another Cambridgeshire Bobbin Maker, my
closest: Margaret David Davies, in March: nice delicate bobbins in
I am sure the makers of most of my bobbins have been mentioned. I don't
have them cataloged or ID to know who made what bobbin, unfortunately, shame
on me. But I do have a few bobbins made by a friend of mine who does the
same heritage reenactments we do. He is an excellent wood carver and

Corian. I don't have one of those, but I do have a
There's also April ? in WA who paints bobbins (like the nutcrackers)

No one has seemed to have mentioned the late Dennis Hornsby who was one of the
earlisest English bobbin makers (of this era) and who set a high standard of

Aluminium bobbins were made by Jim Tregellas in South Australia, Helen - I
just love mine, especially in summer!.
A fairly new maker in Oz is Gerry Giesaitis in Corrimal, who makes a lovely
line of laminated wood bobbins in all sorts of lovely colours, as well as

It would be nice if we posted the names of bobbin makers from whom we have
bought bobbins, so that a list could be compiled which took in all bobbin

Hi Alice!
I recently discovered a web site for Sarah Jones bobbins. She paints

When we lived in England, we often saw her at Lace Days with Heather Ann
