I recently bought the little pocket wood winder and use a long rubber band
to clamp it to my small work table. A cord might work too. (Looks like he
does ship to the UK--search for "lace bobbin winder" on Etsy.)

Dear Aliso
To Alison, my winder is Genko, made in Germany. I bought it from a retired
lacemaker who lived in Belgium for awhile (in the 1970’s?). The wooden chock
that holds the bobbin is a replacement made in Sweden. The winder is metal, has
its own clamp & runs very smoothly. It clamps to a table but I

You will find the type of bobbin winder I have had for many years â at least
25 years,. And It still works as good as new!! It would be a good investment,
I think, and not too expensive â considering its

Dear Alison,
I live across The Pond, so can't give any advice about stockists. I have a

second hand. It is simply and powerfully made. You turn the handle, and on

There are instructions for making an electric bobbin winder using a
Gutterman-type sewing thread spool and an electric drinks twizzler in
Flowers and Butterflies in 3D Bobbin Lace by Dorothy K Cox.
It could probably be adapted to use an electric hand fan.

I checked that issue but it is a bobbin winder using an electric motor. I
think it is more likely to be what is described in the index of Lace as a
Handbag Bobbin Winder which is in issue 75.
Of course, that issue is missing from all my
4G Network.

As you will have all seen, by now, the one shown in Lace is indeed that
in Dorothy's book. I will attach the photo of mine with this.
The other winder is the one made by Gaye Beswick's husband which I also
have. The only problems with this are a) getting the right bands and b)
being careful

Hi Bev

Robinson was an English cartoonist and illustrator, best-known for the

He was a brilliant satirical cartoonist and some of his 'inventions'
