I recently use Quilter's Dream 80/20 and LOVED how supple it was and easy to needle. Will definitely use it again.

Hobbs Wool batting. Lightweight, lofty, warm, Wonderful!
to me the Warm n natural cotton batting is very heavy, but not very warm.
Hobbs and Quilters Dream polyester batts are very nice too, and very warm

I love the Quilters Dream wool batting. I have never had a problem with bearding. Personally, I think that has to do with the weave of the fabric and not the batting. The wool batting is soft and slightly heavier than cotton and breathable. Make nice definition for your stitching whether it is FMQor hand quilting.

I use Hobbs wool almost exclusively. The exception is when I make a baby quilt, I use Hobbs 80/20 (it may be washed in hot water).

At the Houston Festival, I asked Hobbs the difference between Heirloom and Tuscany and was told it was just the packaging. Tuscany is not as tightly packaged and takes up more space, but I like it best.

I once purchased batting from a bad batch and Hobbs replaced it (I had sent them a picture).

washable wool--lightweight and warm because it "breathes"--plus your quilting will "pop"

Quilter's Dream wool batting is awesome. Lightweight and warm. It's washable and my absolute favorite for my personal quilts.

Just fyi: Wool is a fiber that can keep you warm even when it's wet, unlike cotton, which won't keep you warm if it gets wet. Instead, wet cotton will wick heat out of your body, and is considered "dead man's cloth" in survival situations.

My favorite used to be Hobbs 80/20 Cotton/Poly blend. My new favorite is Hobbs 80/20 Cotton/Wool blend. It comes out of the package much more relaxed and ready to use than any other batting that I have tried... hardly any wrinkles and it handles beautifully. I stocked up at the Connecting Threads sale this month.

Hobbs Tuscany Cotton Wool Blend Batting

Just like wool in clothing, this cotton and wool batting will give you wonderful insulation. It gives you warmth without weight, and washes up perfectly. It is recommended to dry your projects flat. Resin bonded and drapeable, this batting quilts up to 4 inches apart. Shrinkage approx. 3%. The blend is 80% cotton and 20% wool.

Wool is the very best!
