The idea is good, but cheese cloth is much cheaper and incomparably better than bobbinet. |
The mesh created replicates to a certain extent the bobbinet look. |
The eggs were slightly adhesive, clinging to the hand and to the bobbinet seine. |
The material is much less strong, but offers a cheap alternative to traditional bobbinet. |
