The result is a natural fiber batting with exceptional warmth, breathability, and the legendary needle-ease that makes wool the premier batting for hand quilting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why choose the 108\" wide roll over package batting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The 108\" wide roll provides enough width to cover queen quilts with generous overhang and minimizes piecing on king projects — making it far more efficient for longarm studios quilting multiple wool-batted quilts than cutting individual package sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How far apart can I quilt Hobbs Heirloom Wool?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Hobbs recommends quilting no more than 4 inches apart — giving longarm and hand quilters substantial design freedom while ensuring the wool maintains its integrity and loft over the quilt's lifetime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is Hobbs Heirloom Wool batting machine washable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes — Hobbs processes their wool batting for machine washability. Wash on delicate cycle in cool water and tumble dry on very low heat or lay flat to dry for best results.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this batting good for hand quilting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: It is one of the finest hand quilting battings available. The wool fiber compresses beautifully under the thimble and allows fine, even stitches to pull through cleanly — the hallmark of heirloom-quality hand quilting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How many queen quilts does this roll provide?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: At 108\" wide, yardage per queen quilt depends on the roll length — check the current listing for roll yardage and calculate accordingly. Generally expect 8–12+ queen quilts from a standard roll.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is wool batting the best choice for show quilts?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Many top competitors use Hobbs Heirloom Wool specifically for show quilts — the needle-ease enables the fine, consistent stitching that defines competition-quality hand quilting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does Hobbs Wool batting shrink when washed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Minor shrinkage occurs from any residual cotton-like behavior in the processing — typically less than pure cotton batting. The wool fiber itself is inherently more dimensionally stable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does Hobbs Wool batting beard through quilt tops?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The needle-punching minimizes bearding. Using tightly woven quilting fabric provides additional protection on the quilt surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is Hobbs Heirloom Wool 108\" Wide Roll in stock at Linda's?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Check the current product listing for live availability.
