I just posted another picture on the Ning site that shows them taped to a ruler widthwise, with a Honiton bobbin and a Duchesse bobbin also taped in comparison. I think it wasn't clear from the previous picture that the Val bobbins are only half as long as a normal bobbin. The Honiton is about the same width at its widest point, but doesn't have the indentation to grab hold of. The Duchesse bobbin is half an inch at the widest part of the bulb, so two of the Val fit where one of the Duchesse fit. But, I think that the shortness is also important because, since they are half the length of a normal bobbin, you might have some advantage in the storage because you could have them in two concentric circles where only one concentric circle of ordinary size bobbins would fit.
