Collectable Bobbins

Limited Editions of rare woods and materials -
for that something a little bit different.


Every so often, I will come across a species of wood or material which will make some nice bobbins.

Usually the piece of wood is small, unusual, or even just rare.

It is bobbins made from these woods that I offer here. I don't charge extra for them unless the price of the wood/materials that go into making them is much higher than normal.

I also do not deliberately create 'collections' for the purposes of parting you with your money. These are genuine working bobbins, suitable for use on any pillow. They are just very limited in number, and so they are offered separately, for those who look for something that little different, or rare.
