Most people like either Hobbs brand or Quilter's Dream brand for wool. I would not use an off-brand for wool batting after reading a few horror stories here. It can smell pretty bad when wet, some are not stabilized (and therefore need to be encased in cheesecloth, the old-fashioned method for stabilizing wool so it doesn't beard), and some need much closer quilting (otherwise they can shrink and distort the quilt, although re-wetting and quilting some more usually fixes that problem).
