Malcolm and Margaret Thorpe
With a distinctive ball at the spangle end of the bobbin and a flare at just below the neck, Malcolm and Margaret Thorpe's bobbins are easy to identify.
They often used spliced woods to make attactive designs or to spell out names.
When Diana, Princess of Wales died, they created a memoral bobbin with spliced woods of Danta, Imbya, Ash, Na and Amerello as a numbered limited edition.
The honiton bobbins show a distinctive triangular head
Active up until mid 2000s
