Description
Pellon Bamboo/Cotton with Scrim is the softest-draping low-loft batting in the Pellon line: a 47% rayon-from-bamboo, 46% cotton blend that feels silkier than plain cotton and breathes well in a summer-weight quilt. This 90" x 6 yard bolt gives you 216" of 90"-wide batting, enough for two queen tops or three twins, at a lower cost per yard than the packages. It is the format for quilters who make several throws or bed quilts a year.
It is needle-punched through a 7% polypropylene scrim, so it holds together on a longarm frame and can be quilted up to 10" apart. Loft is 1/16", shrinkage is 3-5% in the first wash, and the cream color disappears under most fabrics. It machine washes and dries like cotton.
Rolls and bolts ship only to the 48 contiguous states.

What one 90" x 6 yd bolt makes
90" x 108"
81" x 96"
72" x 90" (90" across the width)
60" x 72" (72" across the width)
Cut lengths run along the 216" bolt; width is fixed at 90". Twin and throw cuts are turned so their longer side runs across the width. Counts are approximate and assume no waste.
Compare and choose
- How many quilts does the 6 yard bolt make?
- At 90" x 216" you get two queen cuts (90" x 108"), two full cuts, three twin cuts with the 90" side across the bolt, or three throw cuts. King tops need 120" of width and will not fit without piecing.
- Bolt or the 96" x 108" queen package?
- The queen package is 6" wider than the bolt, so a wide queen top (over 86") fits the package but not the bolt. For standard queens and smaller, the bolt is the better value if you have two or more quilts planned. Bolts ship only to the 48 contiguous states. Pellon Bamboo/Cotton queen package
- Pellon bamboo blend vs Quilters Dream Bamboo on a roll?
- Quilters Dream Select Bamboo is a bamboo, silk, Tencel and cotton blend with no scrim, on 93" x 30 yard rolls that are a pre-order item. Pellon Bamboo/Cotton has a scrim, quilts to 10" apart, is in stock, and the 6 yard bolt is a far smaller commitment. Choose Quilters Dream for the softest show-quilt drape; choose Pellon for everyday production. Quilters Dream Select Bamboo queen roll
- Bamboo blend or 100% cotton for a longarm business?
- Both run the same on the frame: scrim, 1/16" loft, 10" stitch allowance, 3-5% shrinkage. Bamboo drapes softer and costs more per yard; natural cotton is the economical everyday choice and comes on a 40 yard roll. Many longarmers stock cotton and offer bamboo as an upgrade. Pellon Natural Cotton with Scrim 90" x 6 yard bolt
- Do I need to pre-wash it?
- No. Expect 3-5% shrinkage in the first wash of the finished quilt, which gives a soft, lightly crinkled finish.
- Do you ship bolts outside the 48 contiguous states?
- No. Rolls and bolts ship only to the 48 contiguous states. The pre-cut packages of this batting ship anywhere. Shop packaged batting
