The Monthly Fiber Arts Thread is a monthly gathering of people that love yarn and fabric of all kinds. From complete newbies that are looking to start that first project, to experienced fiber artists and beyond, we would love to hear from you.

It is impossible to hijack the Monthly Fiber Arts Thread. Knitting, crochet, quilting, weaving, general crafting - there is no telling where it will go, and that is part of the fun and interest. Jump in and join us! Send a Private Message to Diana in Wisconsin if you'd like to be added to our Fiber Arts Ping List.

NOTE: This is a once a Month Ping List. We do post to the thread during the month. Links to related articles and discussions which might be of interest to Fiber Arts fans are welcomed any time!

OK, time for a new question.

We have an old couch from mr. mm’s parents and the seat cushions on it are absolutely SHOT.

They are the old, yellow foam rubber that is starting to disintigrate and crumble. There is no padding around the foam. It’s just the foam insert.

I’ve tried looking online but the choices for foam inserts are staggering. I have no idea what we need that will last and be fairly firm for sitting on.

What’s the difference between open cell and closed cell foam and is one better than the other?

Any advantages of latex foam over something else?

Anything else I should know?

One of the doctors I follow on Facebook posted this video - I watched the first part of it - very detailed, looks good to me, if I were making masks. She has a pattern you can print off of her website.
