I use Hobbs and love,love,love it! So easy to quilt through on the LA, been told it needles well for handquilting, gives lots of loft to quilting design but never puckers/tucks and so warm and light weight! Wish I could afford it for every single quilt I do. Convinced a friend that I quilted for to give it a try--she's now a "convert".

For trapunto quilting or to give extra loft to quilting, wool is the best. I use Hobbs 100% wool for those and Hobbs 80% cotton and 20% wool for everything else. I still have a roll of Warm and Natural cotton but wow . . .once I tried the cotton wool blend, I'm hooked for life.

I love wool battings! I use Hobbs Wool and Dream Wool. Both are machine washable. I dry my finished wool batting quilt in the dryer, it comes out lofty, fluffy, soft and cozy! I purchase mine packaged, Hobbs from Connecting Threads, Dream from a local shop, so buy the size I need, generally queens and kings. Widths 90" & 120". Other sizes are available. They are my favorite battings! My first whole cloth quilt has dream wool batting, it has been laundered 2-3 times a year ( washer & dryer) for 12+ years now and is still wonderful. Soft, cozy and comes out of the dryer so lofty and * huggable* .
