Tuscany Wool batting is made with the very best super wash wool which eliminates most or all of the shrinkage. It is then carded and resin bonded to help retard bearding (fiber migration). Tuscany wool batting provides superb insulation and the fiber breathes allowing excess heat to dispense away from the body. It can be quilted up to 4″ apart and is washable. We recommend washing in tepid water by hand and laying out flat to dry. It hand quilts like a dream and is wonderful for machine quilters as well.
