Well, very clever of you Malvary! I fortunately found a Swedish Store called Engelbritson’s that stocked lace books and lace making supplies (including bobbins) They had a lot of birch starter bobbins for English lace. A tad bulkier than the good ones but cheap! Rarely use them but have them for large projects! I don’t know what I would have done without them! They were burned out during the riots this summer. Broke my heart since the US is not full of lace suppliers like England!
