Insul-Bright Insulating Thermal Lining — 1 yd x 45" from The Warm Company is the single-project cut of the standard heat-protective lining — metalized reflective batting for oven mitts and pot holders, in exactly one pattern's worth.
Product Details
- Material: Needle-punched polyester with metalized reflective fibers — reflects radiant heat, insulates conductive heat
- Cut: 1 yard x 45" — 1–2 oven-mitt pairs, 3–4 pot holders, or 1–2 small casserole carriers
- Oven-safe: Yes, with 100% cotton outer layers — built for stovetop and oven heat protection
- NOT microwave-safe: Metallic fibers — microwave projects use Wrap-N-Zap cotton batting instead
- Care: Finished items machine wash warm, tumble low
Frequently Asked Questions
- How does the heat protection actually work?
- Two mechanisms in one batting — the metalized layer bounces radiant heat back toward the source while the poly fiber slows conductive transfer. That combination is why it outperforms plain batting doubled up.
- The one rule that can't be broken?
- Never in the microwave — the metallic fibers arc. Microwave bowl cozies and potato bags are Wrap-N-Zap's job; Insul-Bright owns the oven and stovetop.
- Which way does the shiny side face?
- Toward the heat — reflection works pointing at the source. Pattern instructions handle the layering; when in doubt, shiny side out toward the hot thing.
- Why buy the 1-yard cut?
- Gift-set economics — one yard makes a mitt-and-holder set with minimal leftover; regular makers of kitchen gifts move to the bolt.
- Construction pairing?
- 100% cotton outer fabric and cotton thread — synthetics on the outside of heat gear can melt; the whole exterior stack should be cotton.
