  1. I had fun naturally dying linen last summer and have been working on my first quilt. Very casual & beginner, I know it's far from perfect, I'm okay with that... however what I am not okay with is how much the wool batting is poking through!! I've already spent 5 hours pulling wool off but it only makes it worse. Every time I pull some out, the fibers pull more wool out. Using sweater shavers & lint brushes hasn't helped. I've kind of given up on this, I even washed & dried it before top stitching it because I wanted to see if that would work for matting the wool (it didn't, it only made it more clumpy). It's whatever, hopefully I can learn what went wrong and do it better next time. So this leads me to my question... Is this because I used linen, which has a more "open weave"? I'm thinking wool batting probably should go with cotton fabric... Thanks
