Re: [lace] Really small thin bobbins. Why?

[Malvary J Cole]

I have one very, very thin bone bobbin - it has obviously been well used and 
is very worn.  Perhaps they started off thinner because of the amount of 
bone available to use - better to make a thin bobbin than no bobbin at all. 
Mine is of average length, but I do have a couple of very short wood bobbins 
also very worn but where the spangle has obviously worn through and broken 
the end and a new hole has been drilled on the body of the bobbin.  On one 
it is very obvious that this has happened because the remains of the damage 
is still there to see, but on another, I think that the damage has been 
cleaned off and a new hole drilled.
