What a great idea. If you could pass along email address for your friend, that would be wonderful. Great tips for wool stuffing too - thanks!

He's a science teacher here in central Washington; but he has developed a machine for wool fiber reclamation. Apparently, its quite common in India and Italy for woollen garments to be shredded back down into fibers for reuse. Paul has developed a machine that does this and sells the fibers at an incredible price. ($2.35 a pound for mixed colors and $3.35 a pound for whites/creams). I'm using his wool in my Waldorf dolls and it works wonderfully. I do have to stuff firmly to avoid lumps....but I stuff firmly *anyway*. If you need a contact number/email.....lemme know.

Thanks for the wool stuffing source. I'm crossing my fingers that they ship to Hawaii. Have you tried organic cotton stuffing? I bought some recently and I like how dense it stuffs but all the bits of rubbish bug me and I found myself wasting hours picking it out. Love the ATCs! Ohh! Thanks for the wool stuffing source.

The wool stuffing from West Earl is the same thing you are buying from the Wadorf supply at twice the price, Donna. It is imported from Peru and processed at West Earl. I have been using it in my toys for year- they are really nice people. I am looking for organic wool stuffing if anyone has any ideas. I love the new tikis, Mimi.
