Thanks!
I found this information about different types of Hobbs brand batting online that may be helpful:

If you click on the report in this article, you get a lot of specific information about each type of batting. This report says that the Hobbs Heirloom wool batting has *no* shrinkage! It also says to be careful if you are using it with very dark fabrics. The bonding process is supposed to inhibit bearding, but with this caution you know that it can still beard through some types of dark fabric.
