What is the best type of batting to use in a quilt. I want it to be warm but feel good too?
|
I am really liking the wool...and I have used everything...No, the wool does not pick. Cool in the summer, warm in the winter, available in 110" wide. Drawback...it shrinks...very soft.
|
I used warm and natural for a while then i started buying online Hobbs 80/20. Both i guess are similar but the W&N is heavier, or at least i feel it this way. I have been told about wool batting is wonderful but haven't tried it yet.
I am sure long time quilters can give you a better advise..I'll be watching too. |
Because it shrinks do you wash it before you quilt with it?
The wool batting that is... |
I haven't used the wool yet...but "warm and natural" or "warm and white" is good. We have two lap quilts in our RV that we took with us to Arizona --- you know - where's it's sooooooo warm in the winter. Well, it was soooooooooooooooooo cold that year!!!! Those two lap quilts saved me!!! LOL LOL yeah, we stayed longer because of them! Also I hear the Hobb's 80/20 makes a snuggly quilt.

I'm allergic to wool .... so I use W&N, Hobbs, or Dream Cotton.
