I was not joking about the price.
The cheapest I can find in UK so far is £9.95 each.
As with many new
products, they will be expensive initially and come 
down in price
over time.

RE: [lace] Re: Bundling bobbins

2008-01-10 Thread Carolyn Hastings
This has been an interesting thread.  I'm puzzled, though.  Why would you
want to spend so much for what a rubber band would do?  And why would you
want to bundle your bobbins in a bunch like that anyway -- wouldn't they get
very mixed up and result in a lot of wasted time sorting them?

I'm just curious.  I love the Flemish laces that use a lot of bobbins.  If
I'm traveling, I use crochet strips or the flat wooden tongue depressor
type bobbin holders; if I'm working, I stack the bobbins up in groups on
handkerchiefs, napkins, paper towels, what ever is handy.  Both methods
work, and the bobbins stay organized.  And certainly a lot cheaper than this
new method we're discussing.

So ... what am I missing here?  Well, the bands **are** a very pretty color,
maybe htat is it?

Thanks Pene for that information I have never seen them before but have
looked on the site and found 3 outlets that stock them in Norfolk UK so
now I can check them out.

Ever hopeful of finding better ways to control many bobbins

Hi Agnes and everyone

I think that would be the price per package.
In the Lee Valley catalogue,  they are item EV140; 6 for CAD16.50. They are
made of silicone, can be reused many times, can go in the freezer, microwave
or oven - heat resistant to 357 C. (675 F) that should be hotter than any
bobbin needs to be (eek). Each cord is 13 inches long; they can be linked
together. Although they are for trussing food, they would be interesting for
bundling bobbins!
