David, You mention having a horse hair pillow. Does that mean the pillow is covered with a woven horse hair? Or is it filled with horse hair? Or perhaps both? If it is filled with horse hair I wonder if the hair was cut up into small pieces before it was put into the pillow and does that result in a heavy or light pillow?
I once ran across a small bolster pillow in a museum that was filled with metal filings. They actually let me try to pick it up and it was very heavy! It was like holding a metal bowling ball. I couldn't imagine holding it on my lap to make lace. They must have used a stand. Do any of the rest of you have pillows with unusual fillings?
