Subject: RE: BS: Wonderful Cotton Things
Ah... those were the days. We no longer have a dryer that collects lint. Leastways, we have a dryer and I'm sure it goes somewhere, but never somewhere where I can collect it.

Mother used to use lint to fill knitted soft toys - it was usually cotton, it was clean and it was there! There was a high quantity of cat hair amongst it for a while but that just gave it better cohesion. Rub it gently in circular motion between the palms of the hand and it will 'stick' together quite nicely in a felty sort of way.

I'm so glad my concert clothes are made of cotton and linen... it can get very hot on stage, especially during summer concerts (lit, by the venue, on the hottest night of the year, by candlelight... !) in churches where often the sun is streaming through the west window right into your face. It has its moments.
