Re: [lace] Newly invented bobbin?
It certainly sounds very interesting! I like that you turn the bottom, which is the bottom of the inside bobbin, to let out or take up your thread. Sounds like a really good way to work with metallic threads. I hope somebody at the IOLI convention this year will have one I can see ‘in the flesh’.

Re: [lace] Newly invented bobbin?
I think youâre talking about hooded bobbins: I have one. The hood is a hollow shell that rides over top of the threads, and floats free. There are no holes in the hood other than at the top and bottom. With this new-to-me type of bobbin, the outside part does not ride free, the inside bobbin seems to have a friction fit at the tail end of the bobbin, and with this bobbin there is an adjustment mechanism with the two holes in the outer side that I have never seen in a hooded bobbin. You could call this an improvement on the hooded bobbin, or a hooded bobbin variant, but I donât think theyâre the same thing. Iâve never seen a bobbin quite like this before.

RE: [lace] Newly invented bobbin?
These use a similar idea to the bobbins that used little bought spools of wound thread. A great improvement here that you are able to wind the bobbins yourself.

[lace] New invention. Bobbin
This guy seems to have convinced some organisation that it is a new invention by some of the notations I am seeing. (?patent?) It probably qualifies, though undoubtedly it has its origins in historical bobbins that are pre wound/ hooded etc.. It looks to me as if he has made some real improvements in his mechanism. I suspect the “red” portion of the insert is a “rubber”(?) clutch (for want of a better word) that allows the bottom portion to be turned in either direction, without return, thus the ability to lengthen and shorted the thread on the pillow. Regarding the two holes: One leads to the pillow, the other allows the thread to be guided as it is wound or unwound from the hidden neck without it becoming tangled I think it is pretty clever, but whether it has advantages to lace makers, only you guys can assess. I gather that the hooded bobbins, the parchment/celluloid/acetate, (whatever), noquette were designed to help keep the thread clean. It seems also that metal thread lace had a similar hidden spool on some bobbins ( I have forgotten the details!! (getting old!!) I have looked at his other bobbins and accessories, and I think he is a good turner with a practical and imaginative mind. Nice to say hello to you all again! Brian Brian Lemin Cooranbong.
