Hi there,

I've searched through some of the older threads but I wasn't able to find any information on where to find dark wool batting. I found The Batt Lady but I cannot see the dark batting in her order form. I've contacted her but have yet to hear back (it is the weekend). Is anyone familiar with a source?

Also, I will be tying the quilt (my first time tying anything) and would like for it to have a puffier look then most quilts. Is it OK to use a thicker wool batting for hand tying? I had read in older posts that some people use blankets. I would probably do this but I don't want the quilt to be overly heavy and I'm not sure they will provide the loft I'm looking for.

Some background information: I am piecing a dark silk top with a nearly black wool backing. It will be a lap quilt about 45x55". I do not want to use any type of poly batting.
