Hobbs Tuscany Batting – 80 Cotton/20 Wool 72-inch x 96-inch

Hobbs Tuscany Cotton Wool Batting is a wonderful blend of 80% fine cotton and 20% superwashed wool. It is designed for hand quilting, as well as for machine and long-arm projects, and resists bunching and fiber migration.

The addition of the wool adds a wonderful loft, which gives greater detail to the stitching pattern, and the wool not only lends a nice drape and softness without the stability of the batting being compromised, it assists in keeping creases from settling into quilts due to the wool not having a memory for creases. Hobbs Tuscany Cotton Wool Batting is perfect for bed quilts and as a second layer of batting (behind Hobbs’ Tuscany 100% Wool Batting, a favorite of show quilters!).

Hobbs Tuscany Cotton Wool Batting is specifically designed to be used with medium or dark-colored fabrics. If used with white or very light fabrics, the wool and unbleached cotton can slightly darken light fabrics. We suggest testing this batting with lighter fabrics prior to using it in a project.

Quilts with this blend of fibers can be washed many times and will get softer over time. Gentle machine washing (in cool water and on a delicate cycle, with no heavy agitation or spinning) and air drying or low/no-heat drying are suggested.

Quilting/stitching should be every 4″ inches, or closer, and quilters may experience shrinkage of 3-5%.
