A short illustrated web article by Brian Lemin (April 2020) on how to name and classify the bobbins used by East Devon (Honiton) lacemakers. It discusses the 'trolly' bobbin, gimp bobbins, plain 'sticks', and decorated types such as the Branscombe 'wriggled' bobbins, with notes on dated examples from Salisbury Cathedral and the Fairlynch Museum. Photographs show decorated bobbins with ship, sun, Peace and railway-train motifs and inscribed examples.
