*** I CAN ONLY GUARANTEE A SHIPPING DATE, NOT A DELIVERY DATE. *** This trio of decorated wood bobbins feature hand-painted United States wooden flags and are wrapped with strips of blue and antique white gingham fabric. Their length measures from 8" to 10 1/4" long and the flags are approximately 1 1/4" wide. They look lovely just grouped together in a basket and would be at home in a farmhouse kitchen, workshop or craft room. A unique reminder of the industrial revolution, they also have a metal wire binding which allowed them to be snapped into a shuttle. One has a brass endcap. The bobbins are naturally aged light brown to medium brown. They're hollow, so you can run cord through them to hang. I scored these bobbins on a recent trip to Lunenberg, Massachusetts. I'll ship this set of three decorated bobbins from my smoke-free studio on the coastline of Connecticut.

Françoise sent me a photo of her collection of spool knitters, and includes those that she has made herself. She writes ...... "My favorite spool is the one I learnt with in the late 90s - it is a spool I bought in a store in London. It is made by Indian company PONY who have sponsored some of my spool knitting projects. I use my own hand made spools as well as a hand machine one and I made a very large one for performance piece in Dublin Irish Museum of Modern Art. I am also in the New York Museum of Art and Design: Radical Lace & Subversive Knitting exhibition catalogue. I have been to Australia twice - once in 2001 exhibiting artist at the Sydney Sculpture by the sea, then in 2004 as artist resident at the Charles Darwin University exhibiting some French knitting floor installation. Would like to go back to do a French knitting project!!" The above is taken from Simply Knitting magazine Issue May 2007 - article on Françoise Dupré. (Installation art uses sculptural materials and other media to modify the way a particular space is experienced. Installation art is not necessarily confined to gallery spaces and can be any material intervention in everyday public or private spaces.)
