Has anyone tried the German Hooded bobbins with yarn? Perhaps leaving off the hood and just using the long shank? Mine have a shank that's just over 4" long. The head is rather small, so the thread wrap has to taper back, but there's lots of room down the shank.
I tried wrapping one with ordinary 4-ply yarn, and put on 5 yards. It's less than an ince thick across the bobbin, and could hold more without falling apart. I'm sure this yarn is thicker than the yarns/fibres that would be used for fine scarves. This might be an alternative bobbin to use with yarns.
