silly question

I use wool batting for winter...seems like I'm suggesting this a lot lately ;). I've heart people using polyester or an 80/20 blend, but I always feel like I'm wrapping myself up in plastic with poly..JMHO

Warmth is a matter of the insulating properties of the batting I think. So a higher loft in theory would be warmer that you would get from a poly batting. But wool is a good alternative.
However, I find that the 80/20 battings are warmer than I would of thought with the lower loft.

For colder weather I like flannel quilts with warn & natural or warm & white batting. They are heavier but really warm.
If I had the $$$ I'd use a silk batting. Am finishing my son's quilt and he lives waaaaay up North in Wisconsin. Told him I'd use the silk batting if he paid. He's getting w&n.

There are no silly questions but they are the easiest to answer. :lol: :lol:
I have used two layers of wool batting for quilts that are used for DH to take to his winter hunting camp. Wool is easy to quilt through so using two layers of it will not be a problem to quilt. You can use one layer of flannel and one layer of batting.
