Matilda's Own 100% Wool Quilt Wadding is a premium-quality, natural fibre wadding, perfect for quilters and textile artists seeking warmth, breathability, and superior comfort. Available in ½ metre increments, this custom-cut option ensures flexibility and minimal waste, allowing you to purchase exactly the amount needed for your project, whether it’s a quilt, home decor item, or craft piece.
Made from 100% pure Australian wool, this wadding offers excellent moisture absorption and breathability, making it an ideal choice for a range of climates. Unlike synthetic alternatives, wool wadding provides warmth without feeling stifling, ensuring comfort throughout the year. Its natural hypoallergenic properties make it particularly suitable for individuals with sensitivities or allergies.
This wadding is needle-punched with a fine scrim, locking in the fibres and preventing bearding, ensuring durability and ease of use. With an approximate loft of ⅛+ inch (0.3+ cm) and a maximum stitch or tie distance of 10" (25.4 cm), it provides excellent stability and support for both hand and machine quilting. The soft texture makes it easy to work with, ensuring a smooth quilting experience.
One of the standout features of this wool wadding is its prewashed and preshrunk finish, reducing shrinkage to just 2.5%. It is also machine washable, making it a practical choice for everyday quilts and textile projects. Free from resins, sprays, glues, or bonding agents, this wadding retains the pure, natural qualities of wool, offering an eco-friendly option for quilters who prioritise sustainability.
By cutting in-house, we provide a greater range of sizes than pre-packaged options, giving you complete control over your project’s dimensions. Additionally, all our wadding is packaged plastic-free, reinforcing our commitment to reducing waste while delivering a high-quality product.
Matilda's Own 100% Wool Quilt Wadding is an excellent choice for quilters seeking a naturally soft, breathable, and versatile wadding. Whether you’re crafting a traditional patchwork quilt or an artistic textile piece, this premium wool wadding enhances both comfort and craftsmanship.
