The Kennel Quilt Website is asking for help from sewers of which I am one. I need to purchase wool batting in large quanities to help make Kennel Quilts for animals rescued from the Caliofrnia fires. Going to one of the area quilt shops is one option for me, but would also like to know of a place to order from at a lower cost if there is one. Any help with a company name would be greatly appreciated.

I don't typically track wool batting, but I've used this site. Gives a cost comparison anyway.

I buy my batting from Battingsupersale.com. Great prices, free shipping and quick delivery.

Just curious, why do they want wool batting? Wouldn't poly make more sense?

Dunster....I'm guessing to keep the animals warmer, especially at night when most businesses turn the thermostate down a few extra degrees. When I signed up to help with this in 2024 there was a size list and fabric/batting requirements. I try to do as I'm told.

If the organization says wool then that is what it expects. I find W&N just as warm and it is kitty approved.... in my house any way.

Which website do you visit? KennelQuilts.com requires cotton batting, and they also serve pets in disaster areas. I would prefer to use poly, because it holds up well with repeated washings, dries more quickly, is warm, and is cheaper. Sometimes I think the people who set the "rules" don't understand quilting, and it keeps people from donating. My local animal shelters accept any type of comfort for the animals.

Dunster....I printed out the requirements when I started doing these and wool was required. Thank you for letting me know that Warn and Natural is now acceptable as I have many pieces from left over quilts. I did go ahead and order 2 packages of wool batting from Battingsupersale.com and can use those or hold them back for some of my other quilts.
