An illustrated web article on cryptic or puzzle bobbins, English lace bobbins inscribed with coded messages such as backward spellings, anagrams, and initials. It gives solved examples, mostly from the Knight, Baker and Huetson catalogue and from Wright, including a Honiton bobbin deciphered as Sotho. It then lists ten unsolved inscriptions with attempted solutions from the Arachne lace list. It ends with photographs of newly received cryptic bobbins with dotted red letters.
