You will find that different types of bobbins are used for different types of lace, so something like Torchon lace would be ideal for spangled bobbins. Thanks for the link to the article on trade beads - I have seen some of these in the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford and they were obviously used by lacemakers as well!Carol Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436038872533462456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-254743158453879737.post-19133046165446735032022-05-18T20:42:07.706-07:002022-05-18T20:42:07.706-07:00I'm wanting to give it a go at bobbin lace, an...I'm wanting to give it a go at bobbin lace, and in researching the different types of bobbins available, I'm trying to inform my decision as to what kind I'd like to use, ultimately. After I get accustomed to lace making using my wooden clothespins, that is. Certainly, if I find I want a set of proper lace bobbins, I'm getting some with spangles:) Thank you for introducing them here. Of the larger beads in your post, I like the green with white dots the best, but the Kitty Fisher eye bead is intriguing. Off to see what it looks like!EagleLobeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07740849609599569783noreply@blogger.com
