Wool batting ?
#1
What is the normal price for this type batting. I found some at Joann's for clearance at %3.97 for the craft size and wondered if that was a good price. I bought it because I was interested.
Also, what is it used for? I haven't used anything but polyester and cotton before. Didn't know if this was for something special or anything you want to use it for.

I haven't tried it because I thought it would make me itch like wool fabric does. Someone posted that it is totally different and doesn't give you the same reactions, so I plan on trying it when I can afford to purchase one.

These were only the craft size so I can't make anything extravagent with it, but thought maybe a little "blankie" for my 15 month old. She is constantly dragging blankets around and tripping over them so maybe she will do better with a my size blanket.

you have to really careful about washing them. they can shrink up to nothing.
if you carefully follow washing directions i believe you can do it, though. i used it once for a bedquilt but only dry cleaned it.

Quilter's Dream Wool is fabulous....you can machine wash and dry. I wash on delicate (but I don't believe that is required) and machine dry. It cost about $30 for a queen size batting. I have never noticed any shrinkage.
