Hello Tamara There's an article about big bobbins on Jane Atkinson's website http://www.lace.nildram.co.uk/html/articles.htm
I have about 100-120 (never really counted them) of the 'Large Continentals' imported by Tim Parker. 2nd left in the pic on Jane's website. If I need still more then I use some old French style bobbins, though of course it's not ideal to mix sizes.
If you are planning a first or one-off piece of large scale lace I suggest that you use what you have but choose those with the longest necks.

This is a question for those of you who have made things like Bobbin Lace scarves and belts/sashes. Since the thread/yarn for those is likely to be thicker than usual, did you use bobbins that are larger than "normal", or did you just re-fill your everyday bobbins more frequently? And, if you used larger bobbins, where did you get them? Or did you just improvise and make them yourselves?
