thrums

Before I retired my hobby fiber farm, I took all of the fleece (sheep, llama, alpaca) that was not spin-worthy and had it made into wool batts. 14 bags later....

At any rate, I have had one lap quilt quilted with the wool batt. It hasn't been cold enough yet to use it.

For those of you who have used natural wool fleece batts, I'd like your opinions and experiences with wool fleece. The quilter used one layer of batting width of quilt x length of quilt. My concern is with bunching over time (felted pieces).

I'm wondering if one layer should be horizontal and the other layer vertical to the quilts to allow the fibers to lock as they are quilted. The batt itself is quite light so it wouldn't end up like a comforter.

Thanks!
