Silverneedle, thanks for the link to the article. It certainly gives us something to think about. I'll start looking for a different batt type for quilts, starting now! Those pictures were enough to convince me of the need to change.

As to the person looking for wool batt for baby quilts, you ought to ask the mother if there are allergies. I was given a quilt made with a wool batt, and cannot enjoy it because of the severe reaction I have to the wool.
