I just recently completed a roller pillow. I used a dowel rod for the center then wrapped 100% wool felt strips around the dowel until it was the size I wanted. The 100% wool felt is more expensive than that mixed with polyester but I think the 100% works better. I found the wool on sale and had a coupon to boot so it wasn't too bad. I've been making lots of yardage lately. I don't even bother with making the pricking into a ring. I keep several prickings at hand and when I'm at the last repeat on the pricking that's on my pillow, I lay another on top for that first repeat. As the roller progresses and the pins come out of the lace and pricking, the pricking underneath comes out and waits for the next round.
