OK, here's pictures of today's wonderful AA bounty. The woodwork is, as usual, exquisite:
Here's a picture of the flyer and bobbin array, with my "favorite" bobbin. The whorl size is 1 3/16.
This is the bobbin rack Alden made me. As you can see, it holds 6 bobbins.
A closeup of the flax bobbin. The ridge is there to keep the flax from sliding around, if I remember correctly. I need to ask Stephenie again.
I have 2 flax bobbins, 1 silk bobbin, 1 bobbin that's "identical" to my favorite, and 2 others. The whorl sizes are totally different from what I already had - I need to sit down and figure the ratios and all, but yea! I have 9 bobbins for my Norwegian wheel!!
I need to sit down and play with them...but I'm 1/2 done with Christmas present #3, and I want to get it DONE. Friday has been slated "get to know the new bobbins" day.
happy
