Yes, Bobbin and Thimble does sound like a Victorian comedy act. But the story is actually a modern one. Todd liked the concept of hanging plants in pots The problem was, it's a lot of work to get the height correct. So we took two of our fave lines duo and diamond. Plugged them into Autocad( our 3D software) and created Bobbin and Thimble. Then we decided to sell it with 3 feet of water proof rope so that it can be hung in any environment. It’s common sense. Which admittedly, is something that’s rare. Especially today.
