100% Wool Batting - Hobbs Brand

Our 100% wool batting is a top pick for both machine and hand quilters, and it’s quickly becoming the go-to choice for show quilts—especially when paired with a second layer like cotton or wool. The natural loft of wool beautifully highlights piecing and quilting, giving your stitches more dimension and texture.

Wool is naturally crease-resistant, meaning your quilts look smooth and hang beautifully even after being folded for transport, judging, or storage. This batting is made from extremely fine, super-washed wool that’s carded and bonded to resist bearding. The superwash process also softens the fibers for a pleasant feel and minimizes shrinkage.

Breathable and temperature-regulating, wool keeps you warm without overheating—perfect for all climates, even very hot ones.

80/20 Cotton/Poly Blend - Hobbs Brand

This is one of the most popular battings on the market for good reason. Our 80/20 blend gives you more loft and less weight than pure cotton, with excellent durability and washability.

It’s perfect for everyday quilts, children’s quilts, charity quilts, gifts, table runners, placemats, and wall quilts. This batting is needle-punched with a light resin bond for added strength, meaning it quilts beautifully by hand or by machine.

Quilt it densely for a smooth, low-loft finish—or leave more space between stitching lines for slightly more dimension.

Quilting Distance: Stitch every 4" or closer
Expected Shrinkage: 3–5%

Crib (45" × 60") — $17.99
Twin (72" × 90") — $24.99

Roll (King 120" × 30 yards) — $329.99
Roll (Black 108" × 30 yards) — $299.99
Roll (Bleached 108" × 30 yards) — $330.99


Poly-Down Batting - Hobbs Brand

Made from very fine white polyester fibers, this batting has an incredibly soft feel and beautiful drape. Loved by hand quilters and machine quilters alike, its loft helps quilting details stand out.

Polyester is lightweight, won’t shrink, and is an excellent choice for utility quilts, kid quilts, charity projects, or anything meant to be washed often.

Quilting Distance: Stitch up to 4" apart
Expected Shrinkage: No shrinkage

Sizes & Prices:
Queen (90" × 108") — $19.99
Roll (108" × 30 yards) — $199.99


Warm & Natural Needled Cotton Batting

Warm & Natural is a longtime favorite for quilters who want a traditional cotton feel with dependable performance. Made from 100% natural cotton (with no scrim), this batting is soft, breathable, and gives quilts that classic, slightly crinkled look after washing.

Because it’s needle-punched, it holds together well without needing a resin bond, making it a great option for both hand quilting and longarm work. It has a low loft, which gives a flatter, more traditional finish—perfect when you want the piecing to shine without added puff.

This batting is also known for minimal shifting during quilting and consistent results across projects, which is why it’s widely used for everything from heirloom quilts to everyday use pieces.

Quilting Distance: Stitch up to 10" apart
Expected Shrinkage: 3–5%

Sizes & Prices:
Queen (90" × 108") — $34.99
King (120" × 124") — $49.99


Which Batting Should I Choose?

Not sure which batting is right for your quilt? Here’s a quick breakdown based on how your quilt will be used and the look you’re going for:

For show quilts or maximum stitch definition:
Go with 100% Wool

  • Highest loft

  • Great for competition or display quilts

For everyday quilts and all-around use:
Choose 80/20 Cotton/Poly Blend

  • Balanced loft and durability

  • Great for gifts, kids quilts, and daily use

For a traditional, flat cotton look:
Pick Warm & Natural Cotton (Precuts Available)

  • Slight crinkle after washing
  • Ideal for heirloom-style quilts and piecing-focused designs
  • Available as precuts for purchase only (not offered for longarm quilting services)

For soft, lightweight, and low-maintenance quilts:
Use Poly-Down Polyester

  • No shrinkage
  • Very soft with a nice drape
  • Perfect for utility quilts and frequent washing
