Description
Pellon Natural Cotton with Scrim is the everyday low-loft cotton batting in our Pellon line, and the 90" x 6 yard bolt is the in-between format: 216" of 90"-wide batting, two queen cuts or three twins, for quilters who have a few quilts planned but do not want a 40 yard roll in the sewing room.
The batt is 93% cotton needle-punched through a 7% polypropylene scrim. The scrim is the point: it keeps the thin cotton from stretching or tearing on a frame and lets you quilt up to 10" apart, where a scrimless cotton needs lines every 3" to 4". Loft is 1/16" for a flat, traditional look, shrinkage is 3-5% in the first wash for a soft crinkle, and it washes by hand or machine and dry cleans. The natural color is an unbleached cream; under white fabric use the white version.
Rolls and bolts ship only to the 48 contiguous states.

Compare and choose
- How many quilts does the 6 yard bolt make?
- At 90" x 216": two queen cuts (90" x 108"), two full cuts, three twin cuts with the 90" side across the bolt, or three throws. For a king you need the 120" x 120" package. Pellon Natural Cotton king package
- Bolt, package or the 40 yard roll?
- One quilt: the package in your size, which ships anywhere. Two to three quilts: this bolt. A longarm business or a guild: the 40 yard roll, which is the lowest cost per yard. Bolts and rolls ship only to the 48 contiguous states. Pellon Natural Cotton 90" x 40 yard roll
- Pellon cotton bolt vs Warm & Natural 90" x 20 yard bolt?
- Same construction, needle-punched cotton over a scrim with 10" stitch spacing and 3-5% shrinkage. Warm & Natural is slightly denser; the 20 yard bolt is three times the length of this one. Buy Pellon for the smaller commitment; buy Warm & Natural if you want the longer bolt. Warm & Natural 90" x 20 yard bolt
- Is 90" wide enough for a queen?
- For tops up to about 86" across, yes, with the 108" length along the bolt. Wider queens and kings need 120" of width.
- Do I need to pre-wash this batting?
- No. Expect 3-5% shrinkage in the first wash of the finished quilt, which gives the soft, crinkled finish most quilters are after.
- Do you ship bolts to Alaska or Hawaii?
- No. Rolls and bolts ship only to the 48 contiguous states. The packages of this batting ship to all locations. Shop packaged batting
