A Versatile Wool-Poly Blend for Strength and softness. Cut to length in ½ metre increments
Matilda's Own Wool Poly Blend Quilt Wadding combines the best qualities of natural wool and durable polyester, creating a stable yet soft wadding suitable for a wide range of quilting and sewing projects. Sold in ½ metre increments, this custom-cut option ensures flexibility, allowing you to order precisely what you need while reducing waste.
Crafted with a 60% wool and 40% polyester blend, this wadding offers the breathability and comfort of wool alongside the resilience and loft-enhancing properties of polyester. This balance ensures warmth without excessive weight, making it a practical choice for quilts, home decor, and textile crafts. The fine scrim provides structural integrity, preventing bearding while maintaining an easy-to-quilt texture, whether you prefer hand stitching or machine quilting.
Prewashed and preshrunk, this wadding has minimal shrinkage (2.5%) and is fully machine washable, making it an excellent choice for everyday-use quilts. The recommended maximum stitch or tie distance is 10" (25.4 cm), providing flexibility in quilting designs. With an approximate loft of ⅛+ inch (0.3+ cm), this wadding adds dimension without bulk, creating a well-balanced drape for both modern and traditional quilting styles.
This Wool Poly Blend Wadding is hypoallergenic and free from resins, sprays, glues, or bonding agents, ensuring a natural and safe choice for sensitive users. Made in Australia from high-quality wool fibres, it is designed to provide a soft yet stable result, making it an ideal wadding for quilts, accessories, and craft projects.
As part of our commitment to sustainability, all wadding is cut in-house and shipped in plastic-free packaging. By offering a wider range of sizes than pre-cut alternatives, we ensure that you can purchase exactly what you need for your specific project.
