Chronic Health Conditions Discussion and Support

The cloth gave up the ghost years ago, so I remade it using some Japanese fabric left over from a haori jacket I'd made. It's hanging together nicely and is 100% cotton, a rarity these days.

There are no basements here, just a crawl space that gets as hot as the house does. When I lived in Dixie, we used attic fans to blow the hot air into the attic and bring cool night air in through the windows. That worked, too, and closing heavy drapes kept the place cool until evening.

All I need to know is what those beads are. Once I know what to call them, I can find a supplier. I'm thinking a sleeveless shirt using them might be really nice. Or maybe a ventilated hat.
