My favorite bobbins for my personal use are the International Square Pear bobbins too. However, if I'm teaching a class and need bobbins for students I use the less expensive Short Square in Guatambu wood. If you want to buy them in larger quantities you can get them for a discount at this site: http://www.lacemaking.com/LacemakingCircle.htm#SQUARE%20BELGIAN%20BOBBINS Ooooh, I see they have the Rosewood ones back on their list now! Rosewood bobbins are just soooo much nicer than Guatambu. Good luck with your class!
