Why blend cotton and wool?

The wool adds loft, warmth, and needle-friendliness pure cotton can't match; the cotton adds breathability, the antique-crinkle shrink, and keeps the price below 100% wool. It sits deliberately between the two.

Is it good for hand quilting?

Outstanding — the wool makes it compressible and needle-friendly while the cotton gives structure for even, consistent stitches. A favorite for show quilts for exactly this reason.

Some first-wash shrinkage from the cotton content — wash the finished quilt to get the antique crinkle, or pre-wash for a flatter look.

Is it warm enough for a king bed quilt?

Yes — the wool provides real warmth while the cotton keeps it breathable, which makes it a genuine year-round bed quilt in most climates.

Does 120" x 120" fit a California king?

California kings run longer and narrower — measure your finished top first. The size is optimized for standard kings with overhang.
