Etymology
The term 'bobbin' comes from the Middle English word 'bobene', which is a diminutive form derived from 'bob', meaning a small or short item. The evolution of the word is linked to the craft of textiles and sewing, dating back to the medieval period when bobbins were primarily made of wood and used for winding thread. As sewing technology developed, the bobbin became an integral component of sewing machines in the 19th century, revolutionizing the way textiles were made. The different designs and materials used in modern bobbins, such as metal and plastic, have made the term more widely recognized in both amateur and industrial sewing contexts.
