Frequently Asked Questions
- Who needs wool by the roll?
- Studios where wool is a menu item — competition quilters, premium client tiers, and hand-quilting groups. Once wool jobs are regular, roll economics beat package-by-package immediately.
- What makes wool the show-quilt batting?
- Loft plus needle-ease — quilting sculpts higher relief than cotton, and hand stitches pull through with less resistance, so both machine texture and hand-stitch fineness score better under judges' eyes.
- Roll or the 120" Tuscany Wool king package?
- The roll for volume at 108"; the Tuscany 120" package for single oversized kings where the extra 12 inches decides. Different jobs, both worth stocking.
- How does wool wash in finished quilts?
- Hobbs processes it machine-washable — delicate, cool, low or flat dry — with only minor first-wash movement, more stable than pure cotton.
- Warmth versus weight?
- Wool's core selling line — more insulation per ounce than any other quilt batting, plus temperature regulation that works both seasons; a wool queen feels lighter than it sleeps.
