Hello all I've recently acquired two replica bobbins and I'm wondering if anyone can supply any information about them at all. The tag attached to the first says "Earthfind in Copenhagen age circa 1570". This replica bobbin is whittled from yew, it is a simple shaft with a small simple head at the top with a bulbous end that is more flat than round more like a shaped cylinder perhaps (does that make sense?) and measures 12.5cms/5ins. The tag on the second bobbin says ""Earthfind in Copenhagen age circa 1635". This replica bobbin is turned from cherry wood it has a simple head with a collar separating the neck from the shank, and a large bulbous end, it measures 11.5cms/4.5ins long.
Would love to know more about the history/story of these two bobbins, and to know if anyone else has come across them. My searches have so far been unsuccessful. happy lacemaking to all Nicky in Suffolk - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
