Hi Vicki -
I also bought one of Mr. Campbell's pillows years ago, and it is a very
nice one. However, I think (hope?) that you were given incorrect
information. I can't imagine fiberglass making a good filler for a lace
pillow - even if it did *not* cause health problems. I was told that
Mr. Campbell used wool military blankets that he bought from the
military surplus stores, and that the blankets were 100% wool.
I will also be interested to hear what others have to say.

On another note, I purchased a very nice pillow at an IOLI convention
in the late 90s from a fellow named Bob Campbell who I believe was
from Michigan. I think he told me it was filled with fiberglass. I
believe someone told me he had health problems and I have not seen him
vending lately. I am wondering if anyone is familiar with him and/or
his pillows and could tell me if he did, in fact, make fiberglass
filled pillows? More to the point, if so, I am wondering if there is
any reason to be concerned about continuing to use the pillow. There
is no apparent evidence of the material coming through the covering
cloth, but could there be microscopic fibers to be concerned about?
