A lady in my lace class has a bobbin winder made by her son which he found
in a magazine described as a medieval bobbin winder.
There are two wooden uprights held about three quarters of an inch apart by
a block between them at the bottom. They're mounted on a flat piece of wood
which is clamped
I don´t have a bobbin tree :-( but when I wind a lot of bobbins I put them
in the crocheted band I have made to keep them still on the pillow if I move
it. I then hang them on a hook on the wall to keep them out of the way
untill I need them. I also have some sewn cases with a pocket for one or

This is so true ! That's why I am never in any great hurry to finish a lace.
The making of the lace is more important than finishing it.

I think the reality is that I'm in
pursuit of the skill, not the material product. For me,
it's the journey, not the destination.
I agree with this 100%.unless I have promised myself to make a baby or
wedding hankie..like,now! Next cover cloth move is the 4th corner (yippee
skippee)
Otherwise, it is what ever suits me or is a challenge. I just like to play
and share the results!

As a bobbin tree, I use a small repliqua of those quilt hangers (where
you would put your quilt if you take it out of your bed at night). It
has three bars that I use to hang the bobbins and has a nice heart
design on the ends. I bought that many years ago in Racine,Wisconsin

I looked at that website, a while ago because there'd been a discussion
about this on Radio Poland International's English language service.
However, the 'lace' thongs are really crochet. Interesting to see
though and very uncomfortable looking :-) (I guess I'm showing my age.)

You're not showing your age - I'm 21, and thongs in general look
horribly uncomfortable...

If you will have only one pillow, I suggest a round cookie shaped one, since
it can be used for any kind of bobbin lace. I like a size in the range of
18 to 21 inches in diameter. An Ethafoam pillow would be nearly the
cheapest, and lasts quite long. (Styrofoam is cheaper and easier to

Hi,
My boyfriend is making fun of my new hobby - when I explain to people
that there are lots of different methods of making lace, but I think
bobbin lace is the most interesting, he adds that it also must be the
slowest... Is it? How does it really compare to the other ones?

I usually tell people 'an inch an hour' for bobbin lace (of course that
depends - on the speed and skill of the lacemaker, on the width and style
of pattern) and yes it is slow compared to, for instance, knitting where
there isn't as much preparation involved (then again if
