A short, informal essay by bobbin researcher Brian Lemin (Nov/Dec 2010) proposing that the spread of spangled bobbins among East Midlands lace makers in England reflected changing fashion rather than technical need. He compares antique and modern bobbin thickness, discusses continental, regional English and "transitional" bobbins with single or double heads and small bead spangles, and ties the change to the mid-1800s and the Haskins family. Photographs of wooden bobbins illustrate the argument.
