A short dictionary entry defining bobbinet as a machine-made cotton net originally imitating pillow-made bobbin lace. It describes the thread structure of warp threads and two systems of oblique threads, and the brass bobbins that swing between the warps. It also gives a brief history from William Lee's stocking-frame (1589) through Hammond's pin-machine, the warp-frame (1754) and the bobbin-frame to Heathcote's 1809 bobbinet machine. A diagram of the net structure (Fig. 752) accompanies the text.
