What does BOBBIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small spool or reel on which thread, yarn or wire is wound so that it can be fed out evenly.
In a sewing machine the bobbin sits beneath the needle plate and supplies the lower thread that locks with the upper one to form each stitch. Lace makers use many small wooden bobbins at once, each carrying its own thread, and weave the pattern by crossing them over a pillow. The word comes from the French bobine, and the same shape turns up in electrical coils, where wire is wound around a spool-like core.
