I have the label for Hobbs Tuscany Quilt Batting. Here are some of the interesting things on it. (All caps are from maker of batt.)
Gives warmth without weight
Naturally hygroscopic and can absorb up to 30% its own weight in moisture without feeling damp.
Quilts magnificently by hand or machine
Quilt up to 4 inches apart
Washable
Breathes naturally
Resin bonded. - is lightly resinated to provide stability and retard fiber migration
Naturally mildew resistant and resistant to moth damage when quilted with cotton fabrics.
Made with chlorinated treated wool which is intended to prevent shrinkage.
Care instructions:
Wash by hand or use the gentle cycle of the washer.
Agitate as little as possible when wet. Agitation could cause felting in wet wool.
Use only cool water for both washing and rinsing - 80º plus or minus 5º water is desired.
DO NOT CHANGE WATER TEMPERATURE FROM WASHING TO RINSING.
Use extremely gentle detergent when washing the finished product. Orvus Paste is recommended. Wash as a fine cashmere sweater.
Rinse thoroughly. Rinse till the water runs clear.
DRYING IN THE DRYER IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
Dry on flat absorbent surface, such as towels.
An oscillating fan will speed drying considerably.
Once quilt is just barely damp, it can be fluffed in the dryer on AIR only. No heat. Remove promptly.
