Hallo Daphne and other spiders Yes the lady was my friend Christine Cooper because initially it was a trial piece she did not want to spend a lot of money on large bobbins so her husband made the bobbins out of dowelling which he turned on the lathe. I believe that he got about three out of each length, she has now finished the piece it is to be the background for a piece called Indian Summer because of all the vibrant colours she will now decorate it with all sorts of Indian beads,etc it will look quite stunning on completion.

A lacemaker at a laceday I was at recently had bobbins made out of thickish dowelling. Her husband had turned the necks I believe it was. The lady in question was doing a picture with different yarns of many thicknesses. She had them in bundles all over the pillow. Quite impressive. Maybe Sue from Norfolk can add more to this thread.
