<<I bought an oval pillow from the lace suppliers in Scotland - the name is something like Central Scotland Lace Suppliers. It's the equivalent of a 24 inch round pillow, but with two chunks chopped off so that it has parallel straight sides. The advantage of this shape is that it's easier to reach all of the pillow, especially the centre, than a circular one. The shape almost matches a fan so would be good for that. However I'm not sure that this will meet your domed requirements, it is almost flat. I find it interesting that you want a domed pillow for Bruges bobbins. When I use Midlands bobbins I like a domed pillow, or use a flat pillow on the diagonal. When I use Binche bobbins that can roll, I prefer my pillow to be as close to horizontal as I can get it, so that the bobbins have no gradient to roll along when I put them down.>>
I'd forgotten about CSLS. I now see they actually have a fan pillow, though it looks a bit flat. The reason I don't like flat pillows is that I don't like working with the pillow horizontal (which I have to do with Continental bobbins). I know that's what they do in Europe, but it's the lack of tension on the bobbins that bothers me - I've got used to the weight of the bobbins hanging down providing tension. Maybe I should just try and get used to working flat.
