It is very easy to do, and the quilts I've done with wool are all very ligh8t and drape nicely.

Tim Lattimer has a nice Youtube video where he's doing a traditional form of trapunto by hand. For the quilt he's adding trapunto to he uses a wool yarn that he threads through an upholsterer's? needle and then inserts it through the top of the quilt into the area where he wants the trapunto effect. No cutting slits in fabric that then need to be hand sewn.
