I don't use hooks on the bobbins. Thicker wire don't need a hitch as long as you don't pull the bobbins but *fold* the wire itself.... For the thinner wire I use "haarklemmetjes" for example nr 70057 on http://www.mariebelle.nl/nl/dept_74.html I also saw someone with wire bobbins carved with C-shaped heads,
I call these Hair Clips, or Butterfly Clips. Squeeze the top wings and the interlocking fingers open. I use these to hold two bobbins together when replacing a thread with the overlap method. Neat little gadgets.
The C-shaped heads are one form of metallic thread bobbin, or 'hookie'. There are various forms of these that have been around for years. I think I have three different styles of them. They can be found on various dealer websites. Did you notice if the person had drilled a starting hole in them? I would think that 'hookies' would work for fine wire as well as metallic thread, with the starting hole added.
