Hi Robin,
I made a block pillow out of ethafoam planks from Hollister Metal
Edge, an
archival supply house...it's the dense kind that they use for
archival
storage...2.2 lbs/cubic foot. The pins go in easily and are held
firmly.

I still say in essence, when you're talking about lace pillows,
ethafoam = polystyrene. ok the same but different.
In the end, both are synthetic, and serve the same purpose for lacemakers.
Evidently Dow Chemical sees to plastics varying among countries.
Lace on.

Hi,
Just thought I'd jump in here with a possible suggestion when working
on an Ethafoam pillow. Years ago I was told to put a covering of wool over
the foam and between the pillow covering. I have used old wool skirts or
blankets that I have washed in hot water and put in the dryer. Even my hu
I bought some Ethafoam through a store in Canberra once, and the constantly
used block pillow I made with it several years ago shows no sign of wear.
The Canberra firm no longer supplies the foam, but I've found an Australian
supplier, and I know of at least one lacemaker who has visited them and
last few hours.

Polyethylene is a generic name for the molecular base for many plastics.

'Memory foam' as I know it is for mattresses. Ethafoam or whatever one
wants to call this closed-cell polyethyl product is firm and just fine for
lace pillows. I cover mine with a layer of wool fabric, felt or something

I definitely found it soft and squidgy, but after about an hour I got used
to working on it. I don't think I'd care to work on it all the time, though
it does have its uses and I am not sorry I bought it.
By the way, I got mine from an American supplier.

In essence, ethafoam = polystyrene , also known as polyethylene-based
extruded foam, for our lace pillows. It has many uses; museums use it for
packing artifacts.

I have never yet seen ethafoam pillows in the UK.
Most pillows here are polyester foam or high-density foam, but none last all
that long.
Then you can buy barley straw pillows, ususally around 20" domed round.
I have one of these and love it.
