Product Description
Matilda's Own 60% Wool, 40% Cotton Quilt Wadding
A Versatile Wool-Cotton Blend for warmth and loft. Cut to length in ½ metre increments
Matilda’s Own 60% Wool / 40% Cotton Quilt Wadding is a beautifully balanced blend offering the structure of cotton with the warmth and bounce of wool. Designed and made in Australia, this premium wadding is needle punched with a stabilising scrim to hold the fibres in place while preserving loft and softness.
This blend is a versatile choice for quilters who want the breathability of cotton with the airy resilience of wool. The wool fibres create natural air pockets that add lightweight insulation, while the cotton content lends structure and breathability for year-round comfort. The result is a wadding with low to medium loft that drapes beautifully and works well for both modern and traditional quilting projects.
It’s especially suited for bed quilts, throws, seasonal quilts and heirloom pieces that are meant to be both beautiful and functional. Quilters will appreciate how smoothly the needle passes through the fibres, making it an excellent choice for both hand and machine quilting.
This wadding is free from resins, glues, sprays or synthetic bonding agents. It’s hypoallergenic, prewashed and breathable—ideal for those looking for a natural fibre alternative. Maximum stitch distance is 10 inches, giving you flexibility in your design, and the consistent fibre blend offers excellent stitch definition with minimal bearding or bunching.
Sold by the half metre, this option allows you to purchase exactly the amount you need for your project. Whether you’re quilting a single lap quilt or preparing for a larger piece, you can customise your length while enjoying our plastic-free packaging and expert in-house cutting.
