Description
Pellon white cotton batting with scrim in a 72" x 90" twin package covers a twin bed quilt or a long throw in one piece, in bleached white for light-colored tops. Note that this twin is 90" long, not 96"; a top longer than about 86" needs the 81" x 96" full package.
Bleached cotton is the right choice under white and light tops, where the flecks in natural batting can shadow through. The batting is needle-punched onto a soft scrim that adds strength and stability without bunching or bearding, so you can quilt up to 10" apart. It is a low 1/16" loft that shrinks 3-5% in the first wash for a soft, lightly crinkled finish. Washable by hand or machine and dry cleanable.
Packages arrive folded and ship to you directly from Pellon; unfold and let the batting relax before layering.

- Twin or full: which package do I need?
- Measure the top. Up to about 68" x 86" fits the 72" x 90" twin with 2" of margin on each side. Wider or longer than that, buy the 81" x 96" full package. Pellon White Cotton with Scrim full package
- White or natural cotton with scrim: which do I need?
- They are the same Pellon batting; the white version is bleached. Natural (unbleached) is fine under most fabrics, but under white, cream or pastel tops its tiny cotton flecks can shadow through. Choose white for light quilts and natural for everything else. Pellon Natural Cotton with Scrim queen package
- Pellon white cotton vs Warm & White: what is the difference?
- Both are needle-punched bleached cotton battings with a polypropylene scrim, both quilt up to 10" apart, and both shrink around 3%. Warm & White has a firmer, denser hand; Pellon is thinner at 1/16" and usually costs less. Either works under a white quilt. Warm & White needled cotton batting package
- 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, slightly crinkled look most quilters want from cotton. If you want a quilt that stays perfectly flat, pre-wash the batting gently by soaking, or choose a polyester batting with 0-3% shrinkage.
- How far apart can I quilt it?
- Up to 10" apart, because the scrim holds the cotton fibers in place. That is wide enough for simple edge-to-edge designs, big-stitch hand quilting and even tying, though closer quilting always gives a more durable quilt.
- Can I use this cotton batting for microwave bowl cozies?
- No. The 7% polypropylene scrim is a synthetic that can melt in the microwave. Use Pellon Wrap-N-Zap, which is 100% natural cotton with no scrim, and sew it with cotton thread. Pellon Wrap-N-Zap 45" x 1 yd package
