I have a package of Hobbs Tuscany wool and one of Hobbs Premium wool batting. The Tuscany says no shrinkage, the other doesn't state the percentage. Both are resin bonded, both recommend machine washing in barely warm water, little or no agitation. Both recommend drying flat, not in a dryer.

I have used Hobbs Wool Batting. Several years ago I had bought a roll of it. It quilts and drapes beautifully. My quilts are machine washed and dried. There is some shrinkage. My only problem with it is the loft. I machine quilt on my domestic sewing machine. The Hobbs wool has more loft than the Hobbs Hierloom 80/20 cotton/polyester. I had to pin baste much closer together on the wool to prevent puckers because the batting is puffy.
