I have used the Quilter's Dream Wool on 2 quilts and it washed and dried fine for me. So I haven't had a bad experience with it.
Also I was out at a quilt shop this weekend and saw Quilter's Dream Puff....and was interested in trying that out....I LOVE down for it's warmth and thought this might be nice for a winter quilt. So you may also try that if the wool scares you. :)
