I would wind an equal measured amount on the required bobbins for a given
bookmark pattern, work it, and then see how much was left on each bobbin.
Do the
necessary subtraction and you know how much was used on each bobbin for the

Those who've already made up kits will already know this, but sometimes the
blindingly obvious isn't obvious. It's is similar to the method Christine
Springett used for the kits she used to sell, and would be the way to go
when making up kits of the same item for fund-raising or give-aways: Measure
the length wound on to the bobbins, make the item, then measure what's left
on each bobbin. The you'll know just how much thread you've used and can add
a bit on for the leash and securing to the bobbin. You need to say how much
to wind on each bobbin in the instruction.
