Dont make my mistake...

I found this site regarding the batting. I did not pay 100.00, I paid 35.00 for a queen size. My quilt is still wet so hoping we get some sun today so I can lay it out to dry. You can not put this in the dyer. I think that is what I dislike must. I am a quick wash and dry person. I can't wait to see what it does feel like once done. http://colormagicalpacas.com/batting.html
They say that the quilt is very warm and that is why people use it. I should have made this a dark quilt instead of a white and summery one.

out on the deck drying
[ATTACH=CONFIG]359875[/ATTACH] I hung my quilt out in the porch last night and it was still wet this morning. Thankfully the sun is shining so I laid it out on the deck. Hoping it dries in a few hours so I can put the binding on. I have been reading up on the alpaca batting and it sounds like the smell will go away once dry. It was pretty easy to quilt.

I'm sorry but this thread hit my funny bone. I remember knitting a sweater out of natural wool. The lanolin in it kept my hands soft during the knitting process. I do remember washing it and then letting it drip dry. The whole bathroom stunk until it was completely dry, then no odor at all until the next washing.

I love how it looks. I would think a "natural" bat would take much longer to dry. Fortunate for you, none of the colors bled. It sure added some spice to your usual quilting process; have been reading your earlier thread.
