To wind 'left handed', instead of laying the bobbin on top of the string then
wrapping the string around it, hold the bobbin Under the string then wrap the
string around it. This will make it spin the opposite direction. OR - If
you are lefthanded, just reversing the hands and having the bobbin face to the
left of the string will make it wind counter-clockwise.
My first lace book had String Winding described in it. The main difference
with the video is that the book had me fasten down both ends of the string,
leaving the hands free to manipulate the bobbin. I used to sit in a recliner
with the thread pinned to each chair arm and wind bobbins while watching
TV. In some motel rooms, it was a challenge to find a place I could fasten
both ends. It would have been useful to have known, at that time, that I
could have held one end in my mouth or pinned it to my clothes.
Have fun at Conference.

Thank you for posting your YouTube video Peg! This is so useful as many of
us head off to IOLI convention. The only thing I would ask--how does this
work with Idrija bobbins where we are winding anti-clockwise? In addition to
the times when my winder is not at hand, that would be the most valuable use
for me because Idrija bobbins are too large for regular winders. My
immediate thought is that the string should be wound around the bobbin in the
opposite direction, then push the bobbin away. I must test the theory!Â
