Product Description
Premium 100% Wool Quilt Wadding
Hobbs Heirloom Natural 100% Wool quilt wadding is a luxurious, breathable option for quilters looking for warmth, loft, and a traditional feel. This all-natural wool batting offers a soft drape with exceptional resilience and warmth, perfect for both heirloom and everyday quilts.
We offer Hobbs Heirloom Premium 100% Wool Batting (Wadding) in a convenient cut-to-length option, perfect for quilters who need a specific amount for their project. This highly sought-after wadding is known for its soft and luxurious feel, as well as its ability to showcase a quilter's piecing and stitching.
Made from the finest superwashed wool, this lightweight and breathable batting is comfortable for use in all climates, even hot and humid ones. The superwashing process smooths the scales on the wool fibers, making it pleasant to the touch and less likely to shrink. Additionally, this product is strong and resists bearding and migration.
You can order this 100% Wool Wadding in quantities of ½ metre increments, and the wadding will be hand-cut in a single continuous length for your convenience. It is recommended that this wadding be used with medium or dark fabrics to prevent the natural wool colour from showing through lighter fabrics. You should also test the batting with your project fabric(s) to ensure that darkening or shadowing will not be an issue.
To care for items made with this wadding, they should be washed by hand in cool water and laid flat to dry. Alternatively, they may be machine-washed using a gentle cycle and cold/cool water, but heavy agitation or spin should be avoided. It is best to start the drying process in a cool/air-fluff dryer for 5-10 minutes, then lay the item flat to complete the drying process. It is important to never use high heat or steam with projects made with wool, as this can cause the wool to become felted and result in a dense, stiff batting that won't drape well.
To ensure that the Hobbs Heirloom Premium 100% Wool Batting (Wadding) arrives in pristine condition, it will be carefully packaged and shipped to you in plastic-free packaging.

Beautifully soft wadding
The wool wadding I ordered is so soft and thick yet easy to stitch on my home sewing machine. Delivery is quick and the staff helpful when I called with a query. There is much choice from them too.
