I know people have done it. Probably something if you google it.
It is thinner weight and dark grey, which I though would be great for a quilt. I don't have the patience for hand quilting, three kids and a job get in the way of getting that done. I do have a long arm and would be doing it on that. I've never quilted wool before and didn't know if anyones ever had problems. On our long arm, I had tension problems quilting with batiks on the top and bottom. It's ok with it on one side, but not both. Thanks.
