The person who makes these bobbins is Richard Pikul who lives in
Ontario. He designed them himself, with consultation from a relative in
England who is a lacemaker. They were designed to be used instead of
spangled bobbins, and the weight he puts inside the bobbin gives it a
perfect balance. I have quite a few of them now, and really enjoy using
them.

Hi Noelene;
I have in my possession some bobbins that are weighted. Originally
they would have been hollow. They do not have spangles, just a little
wooden button on the end that would be holding the weight in. Mine are
square.
I got these at IOLI this summer from the Canadian Lacemaker Gazette.
Their turner must have got the idea from somewhere. Bev Walker might
know.
I like my pair :-)
