I use a toilet paper card board roll with yarn through the middle.

I have also used prescription pill bottles in a pinch. I need to save a few spools for this too. I saw these on some site and said, "hmmm, I can improvise one of those and save my $$ for fabric!" and that is what I did.Gene Blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15731141629634998152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906296252131082397.post-76358805502509945332011-08-06T18:02:13.933-04:002011-08-06T18:02:13.933-04:00I haven't tried a binding bobbin yet but will ...I haven't tried a binding bobbin yet but will think twice before throwing away another spool.
