I have four Malcome Fowler bobbins. He told me they were made of Pyrex and
that in the unlikely event that they broke, he would repair them. Mine
contain pieces of my four dogs' hair - two of them are now deceased, so I
love the reminder of them, but I keep them in a display cabinet. They are
too precious to risk.
BTW The BT man has come, and wreaked his magic, and I am back online -
don't dare assume it will be forever though!! Just keeping my fingers
crossed! :.))))

Hi All,
I would agree that some of the bobbins - such as the ones made by
Tuffnell -
are quite chunky, so I am not too keen on those. But - Malcolm Fowler
makes
the most delightful glass bobbins - they are slim and dainty, and with all
sorts of lovely things in the bobbins - such as titanium spirals (lovely
variegated blueish colours) and copper spirals (brown/gold variegated
colours) as well as pot pourri, ribbon, coloured seed beads, lacey bits -
you name it he'll do it! I have a small fortune's worth of his bobbins
and
despite their delicate looks, they are sturdy - unless you chuck them on
the
floor, of course!
For those of you in the East Anglian area, he is coming to the Wymondham
Lace Day in June 2005!!!
Carol
