Polyester filling for soft toys, cushions and pillows - 1kg

Product Information

In our original testing we found the material to largely live up to its promises, feeling super-soft and keeping our tester toasty during a chilly autumn test. The vast majority of polyester producers worldwide essentially engage in slave labor, and polyester workers are exposed to toxic chemicals that may cause neurological damage, cancer, or other potentially fatal conditions.

Polyester staples resemble the staples used to make cotton yarn, and like cotton staples, polyester staples are usually spun into a yarn-like material. Because it doesn't attract dust, it can be used to fill furniture or accents that come in contact with sensitive areas of your body -- mattresses, pillows, sleeping bags and quilts. Manufacturers use polyester fabric to make suits, jackets, socks, underwear, and pretty much anything that you can wear for casual, business, or formal occasions. Overall, polyester harms the environment at every stage in its production, and it inevitably accumulates in the world’s ecosystems with no viable methods for removing it.Carding a filling product makes it more light and fluffy as it goes through a carding machine and introduces air.

If like me however, you use it to make toys, then knowing all about the toy filling that you use can give you better finished results. You’ll want to ensure that the new, heavier materials are evenly distributed across the long edge of your draught excluder. The duvet is filled with 90% Hungarian goose down and 10% Hungarian goose feathers, with a 300-thread count cotton casing. With a degree in Historical and performance costumes, I've experience in both complex sewing techniques and simple sewing tutorials.While some forms of polyester are biodegradable, most of them are not, and polyester production and use contribute to pollution around the world. Another thing to look out for with this material is any guarantee from the manufacturer regarding allergen and dust mite testing, as down and feather duvets can sometimes cause flare ups in allergy sufferers. Covered in a breathable cotton casing, this duvet is also hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites, according to Silentnight. While its filling and casing are luxurious, Scooms have also put together quite the practical duvet: it comes in a range of tog ratings and has fasteners for attaching extra duvets to control warmth levels, which make it suitable for all seasons, uses quilted pockets to ensure even and reliable filling, and is certified for both its anti-allergen and anti-dust properties. In a cost of living crisis, many of us, myself included are looking at different craft projects to reduce our energy bills in the winter months, and one of the easiest, most popular, and most practical crafts is a DIY draught excluder (or draft guard / draft blocker for my North American friends).
