Warm & Natural® Needled Cotton Batting – Premium Cotton Quilt Batting

Warm & Natural® Needled Cotton Batting – Premium Cotton Quilt Batting

Create soft, durable quilts and craft projects with Warm & Natural® Needled Cotton Batting from The Warm Company. Made with high-quality cotton fibers grown in the USA, this premium needle-punched batting provides the natural softness, stability, and flexibility quilters need for hand quilting, machine quilting, and a wide variety of sewing and craft projects.

Warm & Natural® is produced from carefully selected cotton that is mechanically cleaned rather than washed or bleached with harsh chemicals. Small natural plant particles may remain in the batting as a result of this process, giving it its characteristic natural appearance without harming your finished quilt.

The needle-punched construction helps prevent the batting from separating, bunching, shifting, migrating, or bearding. It contains no resins or glues and remains stable during quilting, hooping, hanging, and use in quilt frames.

For flexible quilting designs, Warm & Natural® can be quilted or tied up to 10 inches apart. Pre-washing is not required, so the batting can be quilted directly from the package.

After quilting, finished projects can be machine washed and dried. Approximately 3% shrinkage can be expected when first washed in cold water. For quilters who prefer a more traditional antique or puckered appearance, washing in warm water can produce approximately 5% shrinkage.

In addition to use as traditional quilt batting, Warm & Natural® can be incorporated into creative sewing and craft projects and may even be used as an exterior craft fabric for dimensional projects such as stuffed snowmen and rabbits.
