For Jean & others—when using an Idrija bolster pillow, the bobbins are wound counter clockwise. Also, be sure to wind them nearly full, even if you need to use scrap thread first, then wind over it with your Idrija thread. As to a bobbin winder for Idrija bobbins, check with Allie Marguccio. The one she uses is quite large but I don’t know the brand. It may have come from a weaving supply company. She teaches this lace at various events, IOLIO, Ithaca etc. I’ve taken several classes from her & she really goes over the special little tips you need to make this lace. Her husband turns beautiful Idrija bobbins, makes the bolster pillows & stands & sells the threads, authentic Idrija patterns & findings to make fun stuff. Satisfied student & customer! Hope this helps. Sincerely, Susan Hottle USA
