English translation of Axel Hörlén's 1969 study of lace pillows and bobbins in the southern part of Scania (Skåne), Sweden, centered on Valleberga and nearby villages. It covers the shift from the bolster pillow to the Swedish roller pillow, pillow cover materials such as linen and oilcloth, and bobbin shapes, including spangled bobbins with baskets or metal leaves that make a clatter. It compares them with Estonian bobbins from Runo and Bohemian bobbins from Vamberk. The translation is followed by notes on Czech bobbin names and a summary by editor Brian Lemin.
