Frequently Asked Questions
How do I wash a quilt made with Tuscany Washable Wool?
Machine wash cold or lukewarm on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, then dry flat or tumble on low. The wool is treated so it won't felt or shrink under normal gentle laundering — the key things to avoid are hot water, aggressive agitation, and high dryer heat.
Does wool batting show quilting definition better than cotton?
Yes — wool's natural loft and resilience make it the favourite of show quilters. Quilting lines sculpt deeply into the surface, feathers and fills pop with dimension, and the loft springs back after folding, so quilts stored or shipped to shows don't hold crease lines the way flat cotton battings can.
Is wool batting too warm for year-round use?
Counterintuitively, no. Wool insulates when it's cold but also wicks moisture and breathes, so a wool-batted quilt regulates rather than traps heat. Sleepers who run hot often find wool more comfortable than a high-loft polyester of equivalent warmth.
