Subject: Re: [lace] midlands bobbins and spangling
So just because a wooden bobbin is big doesn't
necessarily mean it is any heavier than a spangled Midlands bobbin. (Does anyone know if any researcher ever
weighed a selection of Midlands and wooden bobbins of various sizes? I'd like to know the results)
Actually a discussion along these lines happened in 1997. I just checked and it is still listed on my website
in the Lace and Bobbin FAQ-tory area (http://www.bobbinmaker.com/faqbob.html and click on Can I mix bobbin
styles). It is a fairly long discussion but Gary Peach did make up a couple of tables to show how different
wood weights vary.
