Hello Alice,
In Belgium most of the bobbins are made by Jan de Maertelaere :

decoration.

Hi all!
I've been enjoying the bobbin makers that you have all suggested.
My suggestion would be that if you have them you include the
email or web site for each though.
Thanks!
And one that I have not seen listed yet and our group is going to
use this year is JoAnn Kremer at:

Hello everyone. My name is Ellen and I've recently started playing
around with bobbin lace. So far I'm loving it to bits! I've made

I think this is what you're looking for. I found one in my local
needlework shop. This is from Nordic Needle, and I'm sure they mail

prickings. No instructions, no working diagrams. So probably not ideal for a
beginner.

No, the Registration for NCRL says Richard Worthen will provide the
commemorative bobbin at a cost of $9 each. I don't know his address or
contact and suggested that you, Clay, provide that to the list.
