Default wool batting- extreme wrinkles

Hey all,
I just pulled a piece of wool batting out of the bag to use and there are a couple of places that are wrinkled to the point where I can't smooth the batting onto the quilt backing, it wants to spring up making it almost impossible to get both the backing and top on evenly. I've never had cotton do this, but the wool is much more springy than cotton and this batt has a mind of its own.

It's Hobbs Tuscany wool. Any ideas on how to solve this problem-- I could put it in the dryer on air fluff, but the package says not to use any heat and those instructions were for after it was quilted, not before.
