A reply by another Arachnean about bundling has led me in another direction, chasing a different rabbit. Does anyone have a successful way of fastening Honiton bobbins while traveling? Everything I've tried has failed, I think because there isn't any "waist" on the bobbins. I have tried to use the neck as "waist" and fasten the bobbins there, but they insist on escaping.
Actually the food loops might be good for Honitons. Possibly the bobbins wouldn't escape from such a tight bundle. Hmmm -- worth trying, but I think a rubber band first. Anyone have a trick that works for them?
