I too love wool batting for all the reasons mentioned above. I like to try new methods and my latest quilt for my daughter is wool batting that is tied. It says wool should be 3 /2 inches apart or less in quilting. I am tying at 3 inches with the ties on the back. Occasionally I add a button on the front. It is a summer quilt for her. It will be light and fluffy. I can't wait to finish it. Most of my keep quilts are wool - I wait for a coupon and buy batting instead of yardage. My second favorite batting is bamboo. It is wonderful to work with as well.
