I sort-of inherited a quilt made with wool batting. A person gave it to me to wash for him. I took it apart and saw it was wool, knowing a man would not know how to take care of it, I made him an all new quilt that could be washed. And made our family a new quilt with the wool in. Every household should have one wool quilt here in northern Wisconsin. When the furnace goes out, a cold wet nasty day, like to-day, or when some one is ill. There is NO warmth like a wool quilt.
