What is the normal price for this type batting. I found some at Joann's for clearance at %3.97 for the craft size and wondered if that was a good price. I bought it because I was interested.
Also, what is it used for? I haven't used anything but polyester and cotton before. Didn't know if this was for something special or anything you want to use it for. |
Wool batting is really nice in bed quilts.
I have never purchased it, so can't help with that. |
Wool batting is wonderful to hand quilt!
My favorite bed quilt has a wool batt from Hobbs in it. Jan in VA |
Wool batting is excellent for bed quilts. Very light weight but very warm. I love quilting with it as it has a springiness to it that adds to the quilting design. Very easy to quilt on a longarm.

I haven't tried it because I thought it would make me itch like wool fabric does. Someone posted that it is totally different and doesn't give you the same reactions, so I plan on trying it when I can afford to purchase one.

These were only the craft size so I can't make anything extravagent with it, but thought maybe a little "blankie" for my 15 month old. She is constantly dragging blankets around and tripping over them so maybe she will do better with a my size blanket.

you have to really careful about washing them. they can shrink up to nothing.
if you carefully follow washing directions i believe you can do it, though. i used it once for a bedquilt but only dry cleaned it. |
Quilter's Dream Wool is fabulous....you can machine wash and dry. I wash on delicate (but I don't believe that is required) and machine dry. It cost about $30 for a queen size batting. I have never noticed any shrinkage.

I have machine washed my bed quilt with Hobbs wool batting in it several times, no problem. Cool wash with Tide, damp dry.
