Betsey,

All of Hobbs manufacturing is made in the US, according to the representative at the lecture. The headquarters are in Waco, Texas, where they have 2 production facilities. My understanding from the lecture is that they buy as much of their raw materials, such as cotton, from US growers as they can, but they also buy raw materials from sources outside of the US, especially wool. They do not outsource production.

Here is their website for more information: http://www.hobbsbatting.com/

Here is a quote from their website: "Hobbs Bonded Fibers is a genuine Texas-born product, so we have partnered with the Texas Department of Agriculture to become an official GO TEXAN product." See http://www.gotexan.org/ for information about that program.

I am not connected in any way with Hobbs, but am always eager to support U.S. industries, and in particular, Texas industries.

Great info, thanks for sharing!

I have been using the Hobbs 80/20 exclusively for about 5 years now. It's the only batting we sell at the LQS where I work.

Thanks for sharing. I do like the feel of the bamboo/cotton batting, but this does give food for thought.

Dayle-like you, i am very willing and eager to support US industries...so will now be looking at the hobbs line! thank you!
