Bobbins

Dad brought over a potential bobbin core for me to try out:
Terra Bella Spun Sample
It fit, and was functional, although it was noisier, and I think also stiffer than my Ettrick bobbin. We're going to play a bit before giving up and buying the real deal. (I tried looking for metal tubing, but everything was measured in outer-diameter, and so none had the correct inner diameter. :P )

The test fiber is a sample I got with my Terra Bella Spun order. I used the middle hook on my wheel so that I didn't have to worry about the "bobbin" not having ends to hold the yarn on.
