Wool socks. Does anyone know where you can buy those wooden mushroom shaped bobbins which were used before the days of throw-a-way socks, or have one they don't use hidden in a work box? Thanks

Thanks Raven. Will check it out later. It's for an elderly gent who only wears heavy wool socks and wants to carry on darning. He probably has misplaced the one he used. Quite frankly I did not think of Ebay
