Sewdreamy OFFLINE Posts: 2009 Thank you received: 160	Well, Rosemary, just for fun I did google spinning supplies. I could easily get hooked on spinning and weaving--another place to spend more money--but I think I'll just use white batting (aka wadding) for my quilts and write to the manufacturers and tell them they need to make a black wool batting. Maybe if we all wrote to them they'd listen. LOL

heartnsoulquilts OFFLINE Posts: 599 Thank you received: 2	I love wool batting and use Quilters Dream brand. Hobbs Legacy Wool is also very nice. The only other wool batting that I know if is Matilda's Own but it is uncommon in the US (made in Austrailia I think). To my knowledge, there is no black wool batting though. Double batting with the black 80/20 or with QD Midnight Poly and using the wool on top would be lovely.

I recently used wool batting in a quilt and really liked it. In the course of a year I usually make several black, or very dark, based quilts, so I have been looking for black wool batting, and can't find it anywhere. Do any of you know where I might be able to order it from? I have so far looked at all my usual places...Hancock's of Paducah, equilter, G Street Fabrics, and so on. I think my next quilt will need it, but I could do the white wool bat on top and the black 80/20 bat on the back, since I am planning on double-batting it. I think that will be ok, but would be nice to find black wool batting.
