When I did the research on Cleavers (awanderingelf.weebly.com/a-wandering-elf-in-the-woods/wild-plants-cleavers-galium-aparine), I noted that I had pulled plenty to dry to attempt to stuff a cushion for the wooden chair I use at events. The plant is completely dry and I made the cushion from scrap linen in my stash last night. Tonight I stuffed it and discovered that it takes quite a bit more than I expected and it only filled the pillow halfway. The dried plant smells quite delightful, but I did spend a bit of time picking the little hitchhikers off my clothing after stuffing.
This was fine because I also have in my stash a bin of junk wool fibre. This is wool that is the byproduct from combing and also some that felted too much when I washed it. I added a layer of that on top of the cleavers and it seems about perfect (and Layla agrees). I look forward to testing it out myself when she is finished.
