I just purchased some Hobbs Tuscany 100% wool batting for a large quilt which is intended to be washed. The directions on the batting are making me think I may have made a mistake. They say that the quilt should not be put into the dryer because "lack of temperature control" and tumbling could cause shrinking. There's no practical way a queen-sized quilt can be dried flat. I've allowed for 3-5% shrinkage in my dimensions. They also caution against the possibility of the batting "felting" with too much agitation, tumbling or steam. Is this mostly a CYA disclaimer? Do any of you have experience using this batting and then washing and drying (in the dryer) the quilt? Thanks so much for your help.
