Product Description
Heirloom Premium Natural Wool Wadding Pack - Queen (UK King) Size
If you’re after warmth without the weight—and stunning stitch definition—Hobbs Heirloom Premium 100% Wool Wadding is a beautiful choice. This Queen Size Quilt Wadding Pack is hand cut and folded in-house to a generous 90" x 108" (229 x 274 cm), then carefully wrapped in plastic-free packaging before it makes its way to you.
Crafted from the finest superwashed wool, it offers a luxurious feel and excellent drape while being light and breathable—making it ideal for year-round use, even in warm or humid climates. The superwashing process smooths the wool fibres, so it feels soft to the touch and resists shrinkage. It's also naturally strong, with great loft, and won't easily beard or migrate through fabric layers.
Sized for a UK King quilt (or Queen size in North America), this wadding is perfect for heirloom and show quilts alike. Stitch up to 4" apart and enjoy the way it highlights your quilting details. We recommend pairing it with medium to dark fabrics to avoid any shadowing from the natural wool tone—and testing with your chosen fabric if you’re unsure.
To care for quilts made with wool wadding, hand washing is recommended. You can also machine wash on a delicate cycle with cool water—just be sure to avoid strong spin cycles. For drying, a short 5–10 minute tumble on a no-heat or air-fluff setting is fine, but always lay flat to finish. Avoid high heat or steam, as it can felt the fibres and make the quilt stiff.
Soft, breathable, and made to last—this is wool wadding at its finest.
