An Ode to my new Kumihimo Bobbins

I have been looking for a good online source for bobbins to use for my kumihimo ropes and, lo and behold, I found some!! Yesterday, after stopping by the gallery to see my jewelry display, I stopped by a bead shop and they actually had the exact bobbins I was looking for. These things ROCK!! They are made from a soft translucent plastic and feature a lip which locks over the fiber both protecting it and keeping it from slipping while you are weaving. I know the title says "An Ode..." but I'm not a poet so these photos will have to do!
