Bobbins at Rest

Where do bobbins rest when not in use?

When bobbins are not in use - they can be stored in a cloth roll-up.

Or a wooden bobbin holder, if bobbins are 'paused' on the lacemaker's pillow.

DIY bobbin holders via knitting (above - wool yarn) , or crochet (below - cotton yarn) pinned to lacemaker's pillow.

A nice pattern (FREE) can be found on Ravelry for the knitted one.

I used Knitted Ribbons, a Knitter Bunny Pattern - Ribbon Three.   Instead of casting on 100 - I cast on 28 which gave me 12 openings for bobbins.  Pattern c.2010 Kelli Slack ~ Knitter Bunny.

The crochet bobbin holder pattern was given to me by a member of the Lafayette Lacemakers.  Thx Carolyn.  Can be found on the Lafayette lacemakers Blog.   https://lafayettelacemakers.blogspot.com/2022/09/feast-of-hunters-moon.html

I also use OUI yogurt containers for bobbins.   They seem to be the right size!   And, a bobbin rack which folds flat when not in use for bobbins that have fiber wound - in the ready to be put on a lacemaker's pillow.
