Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water and tumble dry on low or air dry. Standard (non-superwash) wool batting would felt and shrink — only use machine-wash settings on treated wool batting.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eWhat makes wool batting different from cotton or polyester?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eWool is naturally insulating, moisture-wicking, and breathable — it keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer. It has a natural crimp that gives it excellent loft recovery and a beautiful dimensional quality when quilted. Many quilters find wool the most luxurious batting available.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eHow far apart can I quilt on Tuscany Wool?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eHobbs Tuscany Wool can be quilted up to 4\" apart (without scrim). For more open designs, a light all-over pantograph or walking foot grid keeps the batting stable.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eDoes wool batting shrink after the first wash?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eTuscany’s superwash treatment minimizes shrinkage significantly. Expect minimal size change after the first wash when following care instructions. This is far less than untreated wool, which can shrink dramatically.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eIs wool batting good for hand quilting?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes — wool is beloved by hand quilters for its springy, easy-to-needle quality. The natural crimp helps the needle glide through the layers smoothly.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"batting-tuscany-100-washable-wool-96in-x-108in-queen","title":"Batting Tuscany 100% Washable Wool 96in x 108in Queen","description":"Tuscany Wool is a favorite choice for both hand and machine quilters. The loft and resilience inherent to the wool fibers allow quilting designs to show off to great advantage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Tuscany batt is made with the very finest superwashed wool that is carded and resin bonded to retard bearding. The superwash process successfully smooths the scales on wool fibers. This makes the wool pleasant to the touch and less likely to shrink. The natural fiber breathes, allowing excess heat to disperse away from the body. The tiny fibers trap air which creates insulation in this lightweight batt. The loft retention is excellent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe suggest washing items made using Tuscany Wool in cool water by hand and laying out flat to dry. If you prefer to wash by machine, place settings on gentle cycle\/no spin\/cool water. Be especially cautious with front loading washers as the intense spin cycle on these machines can be very hard on quilts. You may experience shrinkage of 3-5% and it may be quilted up to 3in apart.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe recommend that the quilt maker spend some time learning about this product before using it on a major project. Make samples using this batting to see how it launders and how it needles, both by hand and by machine, so that you can obtain the look you want in your final project.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* Made of: 100% Wool\u003cbr\u003e* Not Needle Punched   \u003cbr\u003e* Space between stitches: Up to 3in\u003cbr\u003e* Loft: Low\u003cbr\u003e* Washing\/drying instructions: Cool water by hand and laying out flat to dry. \u003cbr\u003e* Best use: Quilts","brand":"Checker Distributor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47353490112767,"sku":"CDS-TW96","price":50.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0433\/1995\/1527\/files\/Batting-Tuscany-100_-Washable-Wool-96in-x-108in-Queen-Checker-Distributor-281317374.jpg?v=1779392742"}],"url":"https:\/\/lindas.com\/collections\/batting-tuscany-100-washable-wool-96-x-108-queen.oembed","provider":"Linda's Electric Quilters ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
