I don't think anyone ever went to the trouble of weighing all the different
kinds of bobbins. At least, I've never heard of anyone doing that.
A good way of estimating the type of bobbin that a thread works with is to
look at the neck of the bobbin -- the thread storage area. Certain

Hi Arachnes,
I am have been playing around making some bobbins.
They are lovely Sharon, and have only recently heard about 3D printing. But I
am still intrigued; what material are they
So Lorelei what bobbins would you recommend I use for a fairly thick yarn to
make a scarf or shawl? I need to use something that can hold lots of yarn
because I'm sure knots would show.

Hello Ann Marie,
The butterfly pattern is designed by Pam Mattioli and is included in Vuelta
y Cruz /Twist and Cross Number 2. The web site is www.vueltaycruz.es If
you want more details, I am the editor of the magazine and can inform you.
Best wishes,

When I make a scarf with yarns, I use my largest Belgian or Danish bobbins.
Wind the yarn on both the thread area and the handle of the bobbin. Yes, they
look weird and are a bit ungainly to start with, but you can make the shawl
without adding yarns. (I wind the thread area level with the
Dear Sharon, et al,
As you have already seen, the same bobbin in a different wood weighs
differently. I usually buy the cheapest in the shape I want, usually a pale
wood, usually identified as palm or guatambu. But I like to buy the rosewood
variety as well, a dozen, as sometimes identifying
A couple of things that I have learnt the hard way from working on patterns
from Jacquie Barbers; tradition into creation.
If the thread tries very hard to slip off the bobbin she recommends using a
small springy hair clip; a smaller version of the things you clip long hair up
with. They are
I sort of vaguely remembered that this topic came up before and Kenn van
Dieren gave his website address for the information and fortunately it is
still there. He gives the weight of bobbins made from different types of
wood.

Thanks for the tiny URL Sue.
I don't know where that pattern comes from although it looks familiar, but I
took the opportunity of looking at the whole gallery of pictures.
What inspiring laces there are! Wish I could go to a Spanish Lace Day.
I will keep the URL so that I can drool again

From the color of the card, and the Spanish lacemaker I think Roka might be
the pattern seller. Roka is a supplier of patterns which a lot of Spanish
lacemakers use. They are always printed on orange card. Their website has a
huge number of patterns. I don't have the exact url, but a

Hi Karen,
Many people use Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) for 3D printing (Legos
are made from ABS). It is stronger/more flexible than PLA, but I dislike
the smell it gives off when heated. (Hobby 3D printers use thin lines of
melted plastic to build up an object layer by layer).

'Peeps' are a marshmallow candy in the shape of little chicks. OK... now they
make other shapes, but chicks were the beginning. They are shaped and
colored cute but not much taste, and little food value. Originally seen
mainly at Easter but now found in various forms all year.

Dear Alice,
Your idea of decorating tables with bobbins and lace equipment is a great idea
to set the theme for your talk. A great education for some who would not be
familiar with these things and never seen such things up close and more
importantly be able to touch!
I hope to remember the
Cheap chopsticks make ideal bobbins for scarves, with the hair grip as
suggested by Liz, or just rubber bands tightly wound above and below the thread
to stop it from slipping. I've tried this - it works.

Sorry about not explaining what peeps are in the US. For those of you who do
not know about peep marshmallow treats. They originally came out at Easter.
They where a marshmallow shaped as a chick covered all over in yellow sugar.
Now they are now available all year long come in and come in
I did think of the peeps. I've never actually had one. They seem to have a
cult following, just like twinkees.
