it is wonderful just remember NOT to put it in the dryer! I did! it was a disaster.

My own experience is that wool batting is no warmer than regular batting. I think if you want "warm" you need to go with something "heavy" like cotton.

Wool is actually the best for all-season use because it "breathes" whereas poly does not.

The Dream Wool is not lumpy...it is very uniform. However, it does shed small bits from the edges of the batting until you get it bound. My quilting room looked like I lived with 4 long-haired dogs until I got that sucker bound! LOL I had to clean my floor VERY frequently to keep the sheds cleaned up!

Our wool quilt is the one we currently have on our bed (along with a topsheet) even though we are currently having a heatwave here. And it is because the wool does NOT feel too "warm". It feels very light.

i have used Hobbs and dream wool, love working with the wool and it is just fabulous in the finished quilts...if i could afford it i would always use it, but since it is on the spendy side and never seems to be on sale anywhere i only use it in 'special' quilts...for adults...the kids quilts and smaller projects i still use either warm n natural or dream poly...and i have never had one smell like a wet animal before...maybe you could wet a corner and if it does then throw a little baking soda in the wash to absorb the smell

BTW...when I use the wool batting, I make sure to put washing & drying instructions on the label so that whomever inherits the quilt when I die will know NOT to put it in the dryer!

I have dried quilts with Hobbs wool batting in the dryer. I never noticed a difference. ?

I just ordered a wool sampler box with Quilters Dream
(every size batt in one box)
can't wait to try this!
actually the price isn't that bad
Everyone has been asking for this so I think I will stock it.

Quilters Dream wool is my personal favorite batting, and used in all my own quilts. It is lovely batting! You can toss in the washer and dryer, and it turns out beautifully.

the name brand is "quilters dream wool".

it is a brand
