I pieced a king size quilt a few years ago & had my quilter use wool batting inside it. I love it! It seems to adjust to the room temperature on our bed. Just the right warmth even though the room might vary somewhat in temperature. I store it in a cedar chest wrapped in a cotton sheet during the summer. Also, I took it to a laundromat to wash it because their machines are larger than mine. I washed it in cool water with Woolite for dark colors & had no problem. I partially dried it in their dryer & brought it home to finish drying over a bed. Had no noticable shrinkage.
BTY, did you know that bugs don't like whole cloves? I sprinkle the cloves in closets where wool clothes hang & have had no problem with moths. Also, to be safe, I sprinkle some of the cloves in the cedar chest. Again, no bugs
