meg Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 hi all - i have a king size flimsy made from jewel tone batiks and kona black. i wanted to use a wool batting...since it will be my winter quilt - i want it really warm and not too heavy. is there a black wool batting? if not, do you think i should use a different type of batt (if so, what kind) or just regular colored wool? i worry about pokies, but also want it warm. thanks in advance. meg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newellyn Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 I work with a lot of black in my quilts. I prefer Quilter's Dream Midnight Dreams batting (they are offering free shipping on rolls/boxes right now). I have not seen a black wool batt.

Zora Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 I also like the QD black batting. Never any issues with pokies, and its warm. All poly battings will be warm. They aren't as breathable as wool, but don't weigh much, either. I am also not aware of a black wool batting. I think Pellon (Legacy) also has a black batting, but I don't know the fiber content.

Quilting Heidi Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 I too use QD black poly but wool is my favorite and I've never had any bearding or pokies with it. Love, love, love wool! The dream poly black is great too but definitely more dense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primitive1 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I've used QD black poly too and it quilts up beautifully! Wool is my fav too but I'd still go with the black QD, you won't be sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
