Woods Available:
This page lists the woods available for the lace bobbins in our bobbins section.
We endeavour to have stock of these woods at any time, but may occasionally run out of a particular wood. New woods may be added, others deleted from this list, depending on availability. The woods we stock are obtained either locally from fallen or pruned trees, or acquired from a supplier who obtains the woods in a sustainable manner.
We also supply bobbins in bone
