Hi- I make these all the time- use the raw buckwheat groats. I get mine at the local 'good food' store. The groats are $2.39 a lb. They don't smell and they hold the heat for a very long time. I use prewashed flannel and these are very cuddly. I have RA, lupus, narcolepsy, etc. So I totally can relate your continual aches and pains. Good luck :) :) :) :)

Hi- the raw buckwheat groats I buy are at our local health food grocery store. They sell organic veggies, bulk flour, rice, etc. And they will order me a 50 lb bag when I need it. When I buy the big bag, it's a lot cheaper but then I have 50 lbs of it sitting on the kitchen counter waiting to be sewn into bags. yikes :) :) :)

It depends on how big of a bag you're making. The size I make most is a 10 inch square and it holds about a pound of groats. And I've got a couple here at the house that are a couple of years old and still working great. Granted, they haven't been used on sticky fingered :) :) :) urchins .....(er- grandchildren).
