Waterfowl down
My grandfather used to shoot a LOT of ducks. He'd save the nice feathers and down and grandma would make pillows, huge friggen pillows the with of a twin bed and thick and plump. First she'd bake them in the oven for awhile to kill the bugs that are present then sew them up. Im wondering if anyone knows any other methods of processing the down? Is there a way to wash it under home conditions? I'm wondering about sewing it into smaller bags and washing them before tumbling them in the dryer...
