If they're all-wood with a ring a glass seed beads, they're not all that heavy. I doubt you need to worry about the weight unless you're getting into "finer than frog hair" threads (like greater than 180/2). However, having bobbins of different lengths might bother you while making lace. It doesn't bother me, but some lacemakers don't like having different weight, thickness, or length bobbins because it distracts their hands.

Are such large bobbins very different to use from normal ones? Would they break thread, and what size would be safe to use them with? - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
