Batting that beards! I have a roll of Hobbs Tuscany Cotton and a roll of Hobbs Tuscany cotton/wool blend and love both. But I recently found Quilter's Dream Orient (the one with bamboo) for a good deal on ebay, so bought it. Wow, was I ever sorry. The quilting was fairly intricate, spent a week on it, though that time was likely extended do to constantly stopping and going over it with a lint roller. I went thru a large lint roller during the quilting and after it was done. What a mess . . .never again.
