A Must-Have Wool Batting for Every Quilt Shop

Hobbs Batting is widely regarded as a benchmark brand in the international quilting market. The Tuscany 100% Wool Batting range is one of Hobbs’ most respected lines and has become a go-to choice for experienced quilters and show-quilt makers alike—making it an essential product for any serious quilting retailer.

Tuscany Wool is especially valued in the premium segment and is frequently chosen for competition and exhibition quilts, often layered with a second batting. Stocking this range allows shops to meet the expectations of advanced quilters who actively seek out high-loft, natural wool battings with consistent, professional results.

Tuscany 100% Wool Batting

Tuscany 100% Wool Batting is made from the finest superwashed wool, carded and bonded to minimize bearding and improve stability. The natural loft and resilience of the wool fibers beautifully emphasize piecing and stitch definition, while the wool’s lack of crease memory ensures quilts hang smoothly—even after folding, transport, and display.

Naturally breathable, this batting regulates temperature extremely well, making it suitable for quilts used in all climates, including warm and humid regions. Despite its generous loft, Tuscany Wool remains lightweight, soft to the touch, and easy to work with by both hand and machine.
