Default How long does W &N batting last on a bolt?

Joanns is having a more than half off sale for a bolt of warm and natural batting ($209). It will take me years to go through it but I love the price. Does batting ever go bad?

Nope. With good storage, it should probably never go bad. Maybe you could share it with a friend?

As long as it is protected from moisture/ humidity (and critters) it should last as long as you need it to.... After all, we put it in quilts we expect to out last us

Last a very long time, just control the humidity the same as storing cotton fabrics.

I've had one of those bolts for a few years now...obviously I am NOT a prolific quilter. Have had no issues with it deteriorating at all. And neither have the quilts I've made with this batting (all of them) over the last 10-15 years. I have the bolt standing in a corner in my sewing room. Only spot available but it works.

I have never had a problem with a roll of batting. In my quilting years (mostly for customers), I have probably used over 60 full rolls of Hobbs 80/20. Yes, proper storage is important especially keeping it clean.
