Hobbs Bleached Heirloom Wide Batting Roll 100% Cotton with Scrim 96"
Hobbs Bleached Heirloom 100% Cotton with scrim, 96 inches x 30 yards: the roll for white and pastel quilts. Natural cotton batting can lend a warm cast under true whites — bleached cotton keeps whites white.
When does bleached actually matter?
Whole-cloth whites, white-background modern quilts, and pastel baby quilts. Under medium and dark fabrics, natural is indistinguishable and cheaper.
Is bleached cotton weaker?
No — the bleaching is done before needling and the scrim carries the strength either way.
Can I mix bleached and natural offcuts?
In one quilt, avoid it under light fabric — the color line can telegraph. Keep offcut bins separate.
