That is an interesting idea. I noticed no frass in either of the batts. Would something like that be apparent in a wool mite infestation? > leaving a bit of a sticky, felted mess. It wasn't quite that bad... more like it needed some strong handling to return to a draftable state. I said in my original post that I hadn't seen this happen before. I was wrong - I remembered this morning that I *did* have this happen once before with the down I harvested from my cat (pure undercoat). It matted down, iirc, but with some hand-picking, it was spinnable.
