I hear you, Neesie. Quite honestly, poly batting from an old pillow works for me!

You could use 000 steel wool, it will also sharpen your needles. I would wear gloves and fill out side, it can get messy.

I collect sand from everywhere. I'm happy with a teaspoon of it, everyone is labeled on a special shelf.
Plus, i also at times use it in pincushions. I'm about 5miles from the so shore and about10 miles from the north shore of long island
