/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Hey /diy/. I'm planning on making a second underquilt for my hammock and I plan to make this out of down.

My first underquilt was okay, but I'm going to call it a learning experience... There are modifications I want to make to both the materials used and the pattern so that it's more efficient for the space and weight.

The current down supplier I am looking at previously quoted me:

£80+VAT /kg for goose down
£70+VAT /kg for duck down

Minimum order: 500g. I would be purchasing 500g in that case.

They also have listed on their website hungarian down and siberian down (They actually have siberarian down listed).

Which of these kinds of down is going to be the best?

Is the price good? Do you know of a better down supplier in the UK?

How do you do quilting without forming cold spots all over the fucking place?

I'm going to enquire further regarding fill power and prices for the other two kinds of down.
