Even though it's a few hours late, here are my bobbins:
I'm fairly disciplined about not having too much on bobbins. There are a couple of projects worth of handspun silk cap there, to get them off my spinning bobbins and a few odds and ends of handspun silk and wool awaiting the right moment. I normally use my leftovers as the header for a new project to use them up. These are in an old chocolate tin, and a biscuit tin serves as storage for empty bobbins.
Here are the shuttles I'm using for my current project, lined up in order on the loom bench:
Weaving one pick each with eight shuttles is sloooooooooow......
I have a lot of bobbins and pirns, at least 20 of each kind, but only a few shuttles, so on my loom bench the naked bobbins/pirns sit and wait if I'm weaving multi-colored. But I have two sizes of what call the "Swedish" shuttles, and they use my recycled-paper ones.
ReplyDeleteLove your colors. Especially the gold.
Lovely shuttles and bobbins! I have been an exceptionally bad blogger, and of course I've missed out on about everything.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend!
