![A wooden box with the lid partially off. Inside there are rolled up cigar papers. Outside there are three bobbins, one with pink thread, one with blue, and one with none.](https://eldonhouse.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/IMG_9480-1024x768.jpg)
Country of Origin: Sweden
Year: 1900-1914
Materials: Wood, thread, and paper
These two types of bobbins illustrate the armature used to hold thread or floss which would be made into lace. The wooden bobbins are “teardrop” shaped and are weighted for consistent thread tension. The paper “spills” (or rolls) are made from heavy-weight newsprint and feature Swedish script from their place of origin.
