Liz,
You mention having a horse hair pillow. Does that mean the pillow
is covered with a woven horse hair? Or is it filled with horse
hair? Or perhaps both? If it is filled with horse hair I wonder if
the hair was cut up into small pieces before it was put into the
pillow and does that result in a heavy or light pillow?
The pillow is stuffed with horse hair, and as I didn't make it, I've
no idea whether it's cut up or not. Perhaps a Melbourne lace-maker
could remind me of the name of the bloke who did make it. He lived
down Frankston way - that's all I know. I bought it 2nd hand here in
Ballarat, and yes, it's much heavier than my other cookie pillow
which is sawdust filled.
I couldn't imagine holding it on my lap to make lace. They must
have used a stand.
I've never sat my pillow on my lap - always on a stand of coffee table.
