I'm a bit confused by your email Jeri, are you saying that the Woven Spider's Web is made with a needle? Kopek filling is made with a pair of bobbins.
I don't know where the name Kopek filling comes from but I have only ever seen the filling used in Russian Tape lace and it makes sense for the Kopek name to have come from Russia. I have been told that Bridget Cook coined the phrase Whirlpool filling when she wrote Russian Tape Lace but I don't know if this is correct and if it is I don't know why she did that.
