Bought a roll of Dream Wool from LQS for $10/yard which I considered pretty reasonable, that was last year. Like Hobbs wool products, also. Lots to consider!
I second this. I used wool on my first large bed quilt, and really liked working with it. But it's quite expensive. Same with silk -- that works up really beautifully, but costs a lot. I used it for a wall hanging for a show. It quilts great and drapes nicely.

I just checked on Connecting Threads - It is quite expensive, but may be worth it - -is it white in color? quite a bit of the top is white, and I am concerned a creamy bat may affect the brightness of the quilt...
