Description
- Woolly Bolas
- Inner Pillow Case
- Prewashed Outer Pillow Case
The softest of all our fluff is our woolly bolas. When the carding machine runs backward, instead of producing smooth batts, it produces small wool balls from just a few fibers twisted around each other. These woolly bolas maintain their lightness and airiness more than any other natural fill.
Woolly bolas are lightweight like wool batting, yet slightly mobile like shredded latex. Unlike wool batting, the bolas never compress, flatten perhaps, but a nightly kneading will loft them again. Do fluff them once a day to retain their fluff and keep them from felting into a mat. Unlike shredded latex, the bolas do not shift so easily inside the pillow case. This is nestling pillow, a cloud pillow, a pillow that takes initial shaping or a few days to transform the handfuls of bolas into their soft comfort and to settle into their smooth, flat shape. As a matter of distinction, while light and soft, a conventional poly batting filled pillow may be squishier.
The cases are made with the same GOTS organic fabric that we use throughout our products. The outer case is double knit and the inner case a sateen, both 100% cotton, 100% organic. Both cases have a full length zipper on a short side. The outer case is prewashed so you can wash it on hot as you like without shrinking it.
This pillow kit is the not same price as if you were to buy the supplies piece by piece. To let you participate in the DIY aspect and to let you choose your amount of fill inside the case, we let you stuff the pillow yourself. Like all of our pillow kits, we include enough fill so that even the overstuffed pillow lover would be happy with the height of the pillow.
