"My email sends out an automatic message. Arachne members, please ignore it. I read your emails."The little plexiglass pocket bobbin winder, made by John, fascinating fellow, of Torchon House, Australia, comes with a little sheet. Mine is presently about 2k miles away from where I am now, so I can't check. It seems to me it's a number 30 rubber band. I certainly could be wrong. But my evidence, although imperfect indicates that it was made to fit a specific size rubber band. Lyn from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA presently near Phoenix AZ, where there certainly is a good bit of sun, but it is COLD. Freeze warning tonight. May need to detach the hose from the caravan/RV. By now it's usually time to open the windows and turn on the fan to let the cool air in. Shorts, sandals, short sleeves, spend the day outside. "My email sends out an automatic message.
