Hobbs Tuscany Wool
I have a case of twin size Hobbs Tuscany Wool batts and I would really like to use them. For those that have used this brand before how do they stand up to being washed and dried? I have a front loader washing machine and don’t have a clothesline or area big enough to lay flat to dry, any feedback would be greatly appreciated !

Here are links to Hobbs website with washing instructions and special notations about front loaders and drying. I have only used it in show wall hangings that didn't get washed

They wash and dry beautiful. I have a top loader, so cannot comment on a front loader. I have a quilt with Tuscany Wool as the batting on my bed now, and I have washed and dried it as all of my other quilts.

I really like the wool batting. I adds a wonderful loft to the quilt that seems to hold its shape after repeated washings. I wash my quilts in a top loader washer (large capacity) and dry flat on the floor. Or, for a large quilt, I spread a new paint drop cloth (cost $2) on a queen size bed and stretch the damp quilt on it. Dries beautifully.

This is Steph from Hobbs - hello and thanks for your question.
Our wool can be washed once inside your quilt. No pre-washing please!
We recommend using cold water and a delicate cycle - no heavy agitation or spinning.
You can start the drying process in the dryer, however, only on a delicate, low/no heat setting and this should be for no more than 10 minutes - then hang or block the quilt to dry it the rest of the way.
This is actually how we recommend all quilts be cared for - they’ll hold up better over time.
Happy Quilting,
Steph
