Thanks for your reply. I have used the Hobbs wool and loved it for the two quilts I hand quilted. I have also used the 80/20 cotton/poly on a pieced quilt. The quilt I am ready to hand quilt now is a special one, completely applique that has taken me a full year to complete. I feel there is more loft to the wool batt than I want and not quite enough in the cotton/poly. I have also used Tuscany silk, but it doesn't seem quite right either. I was hoping the Tuscany 80/20 cotton/wool would be just right. I will give it a try based on your positive experience.
