bobbin net
Bobbinet \Bob`bi*net"\, n. [Bobbin + net.] A kind of cotton lace which is wrought by machines, and not by hand. [Sometimes written bobbin net.]
The English machine-made net is now confined to point
net, warp net, and bobbin net, so called from the
peculiar construction of the machines by which they are
produced.
