As for putting bobbins in a frame. Can I ask if anyone out there
has any
ideas on how to do this effectively.
I have a collection of bobbins that I wanted to display, but I also
wanted to use them too. Eventually I bought a spoon collector's
cabinet at Bombay. See http://tinyurl.com/4byj7qs
The slots for the spoons are too wide for my East Midlands bobbins,
but I've wound them in pairs, using a very short length of thread.
Then I hang them by having the upside down U made by the thread hang
over the divider between two slots. (I hope this is understandable.
It's easier to do than to write!) I hung the cabinet on the wall and
I can open the door and remove any bobbins that I want to use.
