There's anther lot of lace bobbins on ebay. More feasible as such that the
previous lot, but they're not for bobbin lacemaking. They could be for another
type of lacemaking, if so, what?
To me they look more like elaborate toggle buttons found on duffle coats for
instance.
I think that they are handles to use with plastic supermarket bags. I've seen
these for sale by bobbin turners at lace fairs

A friend has just given me a cone of cotton she once bought in Bruges. Isis
60/2 Egyptisch Katoen. What lace would it be suitable for please.

Whilst I haven't seen that brand of 60/2 Egyptian cotton I'm pretty sure it
will be fairly fine, and being 2 ply will work up into a soft lace which drapes
well, so suitable for clothing trim. Point ground, fine torchon, Bedforshire -
whatever your personal preference.

I used this thread several years ago when I made an Alex Stillwell piece out
of her Geometric book, looked a bit like tipis to me around the square hanky
frame I made. The pattern was bucks point, so quite fine and in the early
part of the pattern i did have one or two problems with it
