Maybe I'm re-inventing the wheel, but ...

 

When working on a piece that uses lots of bobbins, I bundle my Midlands
bobbins together when not being used in lots of about 6 pair through the
spangles with a piece of nylon cord, the ends of which I've dipped in clear
nail polish to form a firm "point".

 

I've found that if I twist this bundle three or four times before I put it
aside, then the threads don't loop up and snag on my pins.  And it's easy,
when retrieving the bundle for use, to just twist it in the opposite
direction before taking the cord out.  It could perhaps work for continental
bobbins held by crocheted holders too.

 

Pinning them back in batches has never worked for me.
