I just got my first ethafoam pillow, and I find working on it a new experience. Until now, I've worked Torchon on a traditional straw-stuffed Belgian cookie pillow and Cantu lace on a traditional horsehair-stuffed tombolo (Italian bolster pillow).
Ethafoam is a softer, with more give in it, as well as being smoother. It was a strange experience at first, maybe like walking on an especially thick carpet after hours on the beach. I didn't like it very much in the beginning (it felt mushy), but I got used to it after an hour's work or so, but I find that it slows me down a little. I certainly enjoy the infinitely lighter weight when I move it around. (I have a weakness in my left arm AND I slightly fractured my clavicle a couple of weeks ago.) No particular reason for this post, other than that I thought it might be interesting for some to hear the experience of someone who started with traditional pillows before trying out ethafoam. I wonder if anyone else has had similar thoughts or experiences. - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
