What was I (Not) Thinking!!!
#11
I just did the iron test and while the one I think is wool just flattened, the other became quite stiff but it didn't melt. When I did burn the poly, I didn't get any dripping blobs but there didn't seem to be any residue. I am quite sure now which is which but I might take a sample of each to my favourite local quilt store and ask them if they can tell. I will never "unlabel" batting again.

Just a thought, if it is that difficult to tell the difference by the hand of it, would it make that much difference in the quilt itself. I know you "want" to use the wool, and I know it would be the "better" batting, but maybe just use either one and move to the next quilt to use the other!

I learned my lesson to label everything when I had some interfacings and stabilizers all mixed up. I use a scrap of fabric and write the product line and name of product and use a safety pin to attach it. Now whenever I need to use the batting, stabilizer, etc., I unpin it and immediately re-pin it after I cut it. Took a while to train myself but worth it.
