Hi Alice!
I recently discovered a web site for Sarah Jones bobbins. She paints
bobbins...her work is beautiful!
When we lived in England, we often saw her at Lace Days with Heather Ann

My husband surprised me and ordered a set of honiton bobbins from them
for our 10th anniversary (we a

It would be nice if we posted the names of bobbin makers from whom we have

I can add a bunch of Australian bobbin makers - they may not have sold

Oh yeah - I forgot about my aluminium bobbin and the 2 gold coloured metal

them Lauren.
There's also someone - in Oz I think - who also (or used to) make bobbins in
Corian. I don't have one of those, but I do have a vari
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
quality for others to follow. I treasure the ones I have from him - they have

Dear Arachnes,
I am enjoying this thread, and think I have now have a good Autumn project to
catalogue my bobbins now the wet weather is setting in!
I'm not sure I have seen mention of another Cambridgeshire Bobbin Maker, my
closest: Margaret & David Davies, in March: nice delicate bobbins in w
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 wante

Dear Helen,
David Collyer might know or remember - seems like there was (still is?) a
bloke who turned tulipwood bobbins at Sovereign Hill. I remember going
there on a school trip and buying a bobbin there that had been turned by a
man in the woodworking 'shop' (he had a lathe obviously), and

Aluminium bobbins were made by Jim Tregellas in South Australia, Helen - I
