I layered a thin layer of cotton with wool for a wall size quilt and still haven't finished quilting it--it is very heavy--but the reason I did it was the pros said it keeps the wool from stretching. I used just wool on a bed quilt and loved the look of it--it also is a very heavy quilt. I think I would like to do a whole cloth (that is not queen sized) with wool batting and see if my poor old body can stand the weight of it. Oh, and I have found that the wool does keep the quilt from getting crease lines.

Originally posted by twigletI used wool for the first time in my Chinese Whispers quilt and afterwards read that it has a direction and can stretch so some use another layer. I think it was Teri Lucas who uses silk as well so that's 3, her quilts are wonderful. I've not seen any blogs from her lately

Most of my quilts are wall quilts and I have been experimenting with double layering and wool. I think the small quilts (under 30" x 30" or so) do well enough with just one layer of wool. I never heard that about the direction of the wool and stretching. I did not like cotton and wool. I did it on one of my larger quilts and I almost couldn't get it quilted. It didn't behave well in the quilting process and it was heavy. I did finish it finally, but decided not to try that again. After talking with several people, I tried one layer of the thinnest polyester I could find and one layer of wool. That was wonderful. It was light enough to handle, it behaved during quilting, and it hangs straight and flat. I used it on my quilt that just won a ribbon in MQX.
I quilt on my domestic machine. Perhaps those who use cotton and wool quilt on a longarm or have found a different cotton batting. Anyway, I like poly and wool.
