  1. Love, Love, Love wool batting. IT's been hard for suppliers to keep up with the demand since it takes about 3 months from the time they obtain the wool til its processed and ready for sale. I sold my stock as soon as it came in. I now have a larger order and will have plenty on hand. As to your question, which is better. It's a matter of preference. Natural wool and cotton are more breathable and cuddly. If you add poly, you add more loft and also warmth. Besides thinking about the content, the density of the batting also makes a difference. Hobb’s best seller has been their cotton/poly 80/20. Pellon has two 80/20 products, with scrim and 80/20 without scrim. Both of Pellon’s products use ultra clean, medical grade cotton which is cleaner than anything else on the market. Differences: Hobbs 80/20 is resin bonded. Pellon batting is either needle punched with a scrim or Thermal Bonded. Pellon’s batting products are much more even and much softer than Hobbs. Priced very similarly. Packaging: Every package of Legacy™ is packaged by hand and checked for quality in that process. This helps insure the quality and the process does not wrinkle the batting or stretch it out. Packing exclusive to Pellon’s new Legacy™ batting product : One of the most important issues addressed in the Legacy® line of battings which make Pellon exclusive is the sizes of packaging and rolls: Legacy™ comes in 48” and 96” batting by the yard rolls that are doubled to 24” widths and rolled on fabric boards--similar to the cotton fabrics we purchase for our quilts. The 96” wide batting comes in 9 yard packages that can be stored on a shelf like fabric and taken to the cutting table like fabric. Imagine buying 96” batting by the yard by taking a 5 pound board to the cutting tables and getting the exact size you need. No waste and the costs are far less than many packaged battings. If you are interested, I sell wholesale to longarmers and have samples to look at. You don't say where you are located.
