I don't like the wrap-n-zap. I think it is too thick. I found some 100% cotton batting with cotton scrim at JoAnn's a few weeks ago. I tested it and it seems to work fine. I always test and make sure people know to only microwave them 2 minutes at a time at most.

However, I did buy some 100% wool felt that seemed like it might be the right weight. I haven't used it yet, and I think it was a little expensive. But I was thinking wool doesn't burn, but will smoulder.

Has anyone tried wool for bowl cozies?

No, the paper says Natural Cotton 87.5%, Polypropylene 12.5%

You must be thinking about an 80/20 or 80/30 product.

To prevent bulky batting in the seams, you can cut the batting slightly smaller. It can also be trimmed right next to the seam line. I do this with items that will be top-stitched and/or quilted.

Like several others, I don't put the cozies inside the microwave. I put my dish in the cozy as it comes out of the microwave. They're great for ice cream as well.

Actually, it changes per roll. I've never seen it up to 87.5% before.

Would like to ask the best price to ask for bowl cozies at craft fairs. Thank you.

Wool will burn. As dunster said, it gets hot enough, it will burn. It doesn't melt.
