The Mach 1 Spinning Wheel from SpinOlution has a huge bobbin. Here’s an idea to use when using a BIG bobbin with rare (expensive) fiber or when you only want small amounts.
FIrst I used the plastic cover from a nut can. I cut off the rim and then cut the lid to match the size of the bobbin end. Then I cut a line across the radius and a small circle the size of the inside rod of the bobbin.
To demonstrate the technique, I spun dark Blue Faced Leicester on one half of the bobbin. I then spun light Blue Faced Leicester on the same bobbin.
I then plyed the two yarns from one bobbin onto a second bobbin.
