We don't actually use bobbins, but funnily enough, the site where we are located was a former bobbin mill – manufacturing wooden bobbins for use in many of the other woollen mills around Kendal. The wool industry in Kendal dates back to the 13th century, but who knew, school never taught us that.

The video above shows our smaller yarn winder, Tina (the tiny turner).

Here are two of our yarn swifts, Kylie and Pete.

That sounds extremely useful. Hopefully, it can be used to explore the Dynamic area of Ovation Pro's workspace.
