Is this right? Synthetics hold moisture more than wool? Most peoples experiences of washing, (we all have to do some at some time) will have found that our synthetic clothes, nylon polyester etc. will dry much more quickly than wool or cotton. They do not seem to absorb moisture from the air as wool can. Can I suggest one more fabric for the inner of an emery pin cushion. That is pillow ticking, designed to keep the very fine down inside pillows.

A felt lining works well for me - it keeps the emery powder inside and makes the cushion more comfortable to use when pushing in the pins.
Dear Lacemakers (especially those new to such things),
A reminder when using felt for pin cushions - the felt *must be made of
wool*. If it is a synthetic felt, it will hold moisture and that will damage pins
left in it.
