Wrap-N-Zap Sized for Small Projects
The Pellon Wrap-N-Zap 22 inch x 10 Yard bolt brings the essential microwave-safe cotton batting to a compact format perfectly sized for the small project applications where Wrap-N-Zap is used most: bowl cozies, mug rugs, hot pads, small pouches, and individual kitchen accessories. At 22 inches wide and 10 yards long, it provides substantial yardage for a full season of small projects without the storage demand and cost of the full 90-inch wide roll.
22 Inches vs. 90 Inches: Which Format to Choose
The 90-inch wide, 9-yard Wrap-N-Zap roll is the production format for studios or makers who use Wrap-N-Zap in high volume across a range of project sizes. The 22-inch x 10-yard bolt is the right choice for makers who primarily make small projects (bowl cozies, individual pot holders, mug rugs) where the 90-inch width requires cutting down almost every use, and for homes or studios that want a more manageable storage footprint. The 22-inch width lines up directly with standard bowl cozy dimensions, allowing efficient cutting with minimal waste.
Key Reminder: Wrap-N-Zap Is Not Interchangeable With Insul-Bright
Both are insulating battings but for opposite applications. Wrap-N-Zap (100% cotton) is microwave-safe -- use it for projects that go in the microwave. Insul-Bright (reflective polyester) is NOT microwave-safe but provides superior heat reflection for oven-adjacent applications. Never use Insul-Bright in a microwave project, and verify that any cotton batting you use for microwave projects contains no synthetic fiber.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same batting as the 90-inch Wrap-N-Zap?
Yes -- identical all-cotton, needle-punched, microwave-safe construction. The width and roll length are the only differences.
How many bowl cozies does a 10-yard bolt yield?
A standard bowl cozy uses approximately two 10x10-inch squares of Wrap-N-Zap (for 2 layers). At 22 inches wide, each yard of bolt provides approximately 4 to 6 bowl cozy batting sets depending on your specific pattern dimensions. A 10-yard bolt provides batting for roughly 40 to 60 bowl cozies.
Do I need to pre-wash Wrap-N-Zap?
Yes -- pre-washing 100% cotton batting before constructing kitchen projects is recommended since the finished item will be washed regularly. Pre-washing reveals any shrinkage before the project is assembled.
