I was interested in the query about Downton bobbins. This past July, our Cathedral Choir sang for a week in Salisbury Cathedral and when I met with Jan Gardiner for lunch at the Salisbury Museum (directly across from the Cathedral), I did a little shopping after lunch and was delighted to find some bobbins for sale, some of which were Downton. Jan and I had enjoyed the lace display on the second floor of the Museum and I learned that Downton lace was made in that area. Later in the week, one of my fellow choir members asked if I had seen the lacemaking books at the Museum. I hadn't so of course, had to return and purchased both that were available on Downton lace. There wasn't a large stock of bobbins but if all else fails, you may be able to contact them and ask for a supplier.
Just enjoyed a day of lacemaking and lunch at my place with some lace pals on a dreary, wet afternoon - at least the wet stuff isn't white!! Jane Sault Ste.
