What is happening at the Studio!
OH NO! I am out of bobbins
How many times have you gone to wind a new bobbin only to find all your bobbins are full of yarn from previous projects? You can go to the store and purchase more bobbins, or you can create warps using the yarn you have on the bobbins - my preference.
