I usually just buy it from Joann's with a coupon but the last time I bought it, I didn't look at it closely assuming it was the same as always.
I just brought it out to work on a quilt to discover it's VERY THIN!!! I'm doing a QAYG for a gift and already have half the batting cut and ready to go. When I pulled out this new stash, it's half the thickness.
Either the quality is going downhill.....or this is considered "summerweight"???
Never realized there were different thicknesses because I never had this happen before.

Does anyone know if moths are a problem with the wool batting? I had heard great things about it and bought some for a project I am doing, but I saw a tute from Alex Anderson where she said she was afraid that moths would get into quilts that you hang on the wall.

I have a question about batting.
My quilts are lap size and have not found a batting to fit.
Crib is too small and twin is to big, so what do you do?
I like the 80/20 warm and natural but have alot of waste cutting down twin size.
I heard you can use some kind of tape to put pieces of batting togather, do you know what kind?
