OMG!!! Silk Batting is the (to die for) soft- drapable- needles beautifully- everything you would expect from any good silk product.
my first choice for hand work-
wool and bamboo batts also are wonderful to work with for hand projects.
dream orient is one of my favorite batts- if they were not so expensive all of my quilts would have them===but because of cost only the greatest quilts get them
