Using Hobbs wool batting for the first time. Is scrunched tight with bumps and ripples. Has been laying flat for a week. Any hints on how to get some of the larger ripples out? Thanks all.

I would mist all-over with water and toss in a large dryer for 10 minutes or so.

I've used steam. I hold the iron slightly above the batting and press the steam button. Wrinkles fall right out.

If it's to go into the dryer..NO heat!

Ditto the mist-all-over then toss in the dryer.

I would mist it section by section, sling it over my ironing board, and with a warm iron, I would press it gently, just touching down, lifting, touching down. I would not push the warm iron across it in a horizontal motion. Let the first section lay flat and dry, then the middle section, then the third section. Good luck.

Actually, I think it's okay to use heat in the dryer with Hobbs wool, even with misting. The only batting you really don't want to use dryer heat on are the fusible battings (because it can heat the fusible enough to make it sticky -- real mess!).

Thank you! I just bought my first wool batting and it's terribly wrinkled.
