That's one of the funniest descriptions I've ever seen. And the "spool accually measures to lace" is a gadget that you put on your knitting needle to count the number of rows you've done.

When I saw the picture, I thought that the "bobbins" looked
familiar, but what were they?  Then I corrected the scale by
comparing them to the knitting stitch-holder.  They're those
plastic picks that we used to secure hair rollers in our
hair way back in the "old days"!!  I can still remember
going to bed at night with a headful of those things and
pretending that they didn't bother me!!
