Product Description
Matilda's Own 60% Wool, 40% Cotton Quilt Wadding - Baby Size (48" x 60")
A Versatile Wool-Cotton Blend for warmth and loft.
Matilda’s Own 60% Wool / 40% Cotton Quilt Wadding in Baby Size offers a perfect blend of softness, structure, and breathable warmth for smaller quilting projects. Measuring 48" x 60" (122 cm x 152 cm), this low-to-medium loft wadding provides a balanced combination of wool's natural insulation and cotton’s gentle structure—ideal for cot quilts, lap quilts, or small throws.
This Australian-made wadding is needle punched with a scrim, which helps stabilise the fibres while maintaining a lovely drape. The wool content offers resilience and bounce, while the cotton contributes softness and breathability. Quilters who prefer natural fibres with a touch of warmth will appreciate the feel and workability of this blend.
It’s a versatile choice for all seasons—warm in winter, breathable in summer—and suitable for both hand and machine quilting. With no added glues, sprays or bonding agents, it's hypoallergenic and gentle enough for use in nursery or children’s quilts. The even texture ensures smooth needle glide, consistent stitch quality, and minimal bearding.
Whether you’re working on a thoughtful handmade baby gift or a portable project for mindful making, this ready-cut size is a convenient and practical choice. Prewashed and preshrunk, it’s easy to care for and designed to last for years of use and love.
