I'd like to agree with others re: wool for pincushions! They are easy to make with wool roving--simply as stuffing or use felting needles to make a specific shape. Get the plain kind, then embellish with colored roving or cover with felted wool. Plain roving is less expensive & no one sees it on the inside. Use a long divider pin to attach to the pillow. Roving is available online if there are no sources nearby. It is relatively inexpensive when you consider how light weight the wool is! If you are needle felting, remember there are many types of wool & select one that felts easily. Merino comes to mind. Wool pincushions last forever & all wool (no cover) means they never fall apart at the seams! Sincerely, Susan Hottle USA
