Hello all, Coming out of lurkdom to ask what you all think that these "mullers" are? I have found these on eBay uk
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7344793903&sspagename=AD ME:L:RTQ:UK:1 I sent a question to the seller to ask how they were used, and the reply was "muller is another name for bobbin, handmade bobbin lace involves twisting & plaiting up to 200 mullers (bobbins) around each other and around a pattern of pins in the lace-making pillow. We are not experts and have taken this information from a reference book. " I can't see how they are used as bobbins, does any one know? Are they for winding the finished lace on? I have sent another question to the seller asking what reference book he/she was referring to. I'm sure that the Spiders will be able to come up with plenty of ideas as to what they are.
