Would you look at this….
All crinkled and soft. I so really like this now. The batting I was testing was Simply Bamboo from Fiberco. The batting sample started out 18″ square, and once washed and dried it finished 16″ square. So it did shrink quite a bit. To be fair, the directions tell you to machine wash and dry on the delicate cycle. I used the regular cycles in both machines.
Now the back,
Oh these pictures can’t even begin to give you any idea how soft this little quilt is. I have several quilts with cotton batting that have been washed several times that don’t even come close to being as soft as this little quilt. I have investigated buying a bolt or roll of this batting, but shipping from Texas, $$$$$$$$$. I so want a quilt with this batting large enough to wrap myself in. Oh, what about a quilted jacket made from this for those cold Wisconsin winters.
So, yes, I have batting LUST. I will use this batting in a quilt soon. Next up to test is their bamboo blend, it is 50/50 with cotton.
i especially love it after it’s washed up! wtg!
