Weronika I have some large Danish bobbins, about 5 inches long. They are intended for use with thicker than usual threads. They might not break fine thread, but they are clunky and one would normally not want to use them unless necessary. They seem to work with pearl cotton size 8 or thicker, linen 20/2, or perhaps fingering weight wool. Any of these yarns are so thick that most normal size bobbins could not hold enough to make any substantial length of lace, and you'd be constantly replenishing your bobbins. Also normal weight bobbins would not give enough weight to tension these thicker threads sufficiently. So if you are planning to work with thick threads, the larger Danish bobbins are useful to have on hand. Otherwise not, I think. Lorelei
