What nifty pocket sized bobbin winder? Sounds like the sort of gadget we all need in our lace boxes!!

Re: [lace] Re: winding bobbins - a comment
I believe that she is referring to John Beswick's bobbin winder. His business is Torchon House and he's in Australia. It's ideal for having in your tool bag when traveling with lace, because it's so tiny and takes very little room. And it really does work - although not as fast as the other winders.

Then I bring the thread straight back from where it ends back to the beginning, wind another layer and then straight back again. My method seems to be in between the two: down -- meticulously parallel; up -- in about 2-3 angled hops.

Re: [lace] Re: winding bobbins - a comment
If I may say so - a uniquely Tamara method ;) I use mostly single head continentals; if winding by hand, I take the thread up and down at angles, as I do for yarn around a nostepinne/stick. Some old midlands bobbins I bought on ebay, still with some thread on, were wound neatly parallel. With my nifty pocket-size bobbin winder, I have to guide the thread so that it doesn't build up in one part and flop around the neck else - and it is going on parallel, but these I wind very full, then undo a length, enough for the tether plus some to wind at an angle to keep the hitch from getting lost.

Kate Henry Indiana USA It doesn't matter which way the bobbins are wound, providing that the hitch is done accordingly in order that it will hold the thread. That said, it's then just a matter of which way you unwind the thread, which only takes a minute to get used to when teaching. However, it is much easier and saves a lot of time if all students have their bobbins wound the same way. Thus, when they collect their instructions for the course, I always have very clear diagrams of the way I prefer my bobbins wound.
