Is there an advantage of using cotton-balls as opposed to cotton yarn?

I've not used cotton balls yet (why does drying take so long!!!) But what I've read puts cotton balls/rolled cotton above yarn/thread in the wicking category.

Yarn does wick really well... But there can be a... taste until it breaks in.

I bailed on yarn months ago when I had a slight immolation issue. Purely my own fault, but I think I am ready to use cotton again.

Seems like it would be a bear to wrap...

Wrap the coil around a jeweler's screw driver, drill bit, wide gauge sewing needle or the like, then thread the cotton through the coil. The cotton will swell and fill the coil when it gets wet.

ETA: This is a very short and incomplete description of the process. You can pm me or hit up YouTube for a more detailed method of cotton wicks and (micro)coils.

the funny thing about boiling the cotton balls is they always shrink... I wonder if you can get pre-washed cotton balls so they don't shrink on you.

You can buy preshrunk t-shirts... Why not preshrunk cotton wicking!?!?

What a day today, doc has me on tons of meds, feeling loopy and weird, but better. Still hurting a lot, eliminated movement but that is life I suppose. Rain here today, still raining....

2. I'm glad your at least a bit better. I'm sorry you're still hurting tho!

 

[skydvejam]

2- Thanks, I always hurt, it is just when it gets debilitating that it sucks. The rest of the time it reminds me that I am alive.
