The Luxury of Wool, in Your Size, Ready to Use
The Hobbs Heirloom Wool Batting Package makes premium wool batting accessible for individual projects without a roll investment. All the warmth, drape, and effortless needle-glide that wool batting is celebrated for, sized in queen and king packages and ready to open, unfold, and load. For quilters who want to experience or gift the wool batting difference on a single special project, the package format is the natural entry point.
Why Choose the Package Over the Roll
The Hobbs Heirloom Wool 108 inch roll is the right choice for studios doing regular wool batting work -- the per-yard economics and roll-format efficiency justify the investment for volume use. The wool package is right for the quilter making one special winter quilt, a wedding gift, or an heirloom project where wool is the intentional choice but a full roll is more than needed. It is also the right format for hand quilters who want to experience wool's exceptional needle-glide on a single project before committing to a roll purchase.
What You Get in a Wool Batting Package
The same fine needle-punched wool fiber as the roll, cut and packaged to queen (90x108 inch) and king (120x120 inch) dimensions. Factory-folded and ready to unfold and relax before loading. The fiber is scoured, carded, and processed to Hobbs's quality standards -- clean, consistent, and ready to perform.

Care for Wool-Filled Quilts
Machine wash on the delicate or wool cycle in cool water with wool-safe detergent (Eucalan or Soak). Do not agitate. Dry flat or on low heat in a large-capacity dryer with wool dryer balls. Avoid high heat, which can felt the wool irreversibly. With proper care, a wool-filled quilt is a generational investment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the package batting the same fiber as the 108 inch roll?
Yes -- same fine needle-punched wool construction, same Heirloom quality standards. Package format only.
Does the wool package need to be pre-washed?
No pre-washing is recommended. Unfold the package, allow it to relax for 30 to 60 minutes, and load. Any relaxation of the fold set happens naturally during this period.
Can I use the wool package on a longarm machine?
Yes. The needle-punched construction is stable enough for longarm work. Load as you would any package batting and quilt at moderate speed with a sharp needle. Wool batting rewards careful, quality quilting.
Is wool batting appropriate for someone who wants a cooler sleeping experience?
Wool's natural moisture management makes it more temperature-regulating than polyester, but it is noticeably warmer than cotton. For warm sleepers, cotton batting remains the cooler choice. For cold sleepers or cold-climate bedrooms, wool is exceptional.
