Filter socks
« on: January 22, 2009, 18:53:31 »
Anyone ever made their own filter socks? What find of material did you use? I made some a couple weeks ago and they didn't hold up very well. I got the material at Joannes. It was the material that they use for the inside of quilts. It seemed to be all cotton. Seems like you need something with a lot of polyester in it. Just curious if anyone new what to use.

I just use my old gold toe dress socks.









I'm joking, I bought mine, but i'm also interested in a material and if it's cheaper to make my own.
