Hi Carol and everyone
That is a good argument for tying the thread to the bobbins - to prevent the
release of bobbins from their tethers at public places e.g. when the
lacemaker's back is turned! I'll keep it in mind for a future demo occasion.

Thank you, Brenda, for the good explanation.
The main exceptions to cotton being Z-twist are those which are
specifically made for lacemaking; Egyptian gassed, Brok, and the
old cotton slip threads.
So I can keep my preferred way of winding the bobbins (anti-
clockwise) with the Egyptian
Achim's right - I should have said It may well be that lacemakers of
old who were used to S-twist
linen demanded S-twist cotton. Burning the midnight oil!

Achim, Neat video, very easy to understand.
Thank you!
The first set you show the thread being wound anti-clockwise
then the next set for cotton shows the thread being wound
clockwise. Why the difference?
Here's a very good explanation:
I always wind my bobbins clockwise when looking down on the head, the
way Achim does for cotton. That's way I was taught to wind them, and I
used to think that it was just a regional thing; clockwise in England
and anti-clockwise on the continent (of Europe), much like English
lacemakers
It's been a while but today I took the time to test the video
capabilites of my (photo) camera. Here's a video of me making
hitches, without voice-over for now, but I intend to add some words
later:

Hi Achim and everyone
This is a brilliant demo! I use the first method, self-taught, even with a
lace teacher once upon a time - who simply directed us - no demo!
Some lacemakers like to tie the beginning of the thread to the bobbin. It
makes winding easier for them. I prefer the wrapping firmly

As others will probably mention, you can wind in either direction as
long as
you are consistent. i.e. all bobbins clockwise. or all bobbins
counterclockwise wound.
Personally, I only wind and hitch bobbins one way, because I have much
too much trouble
