Why Wool?
Wool batting provides superb insulation. The fiber breathes, allowing excess heat to disperse away from the body.
Wool gives warmth without weight. It is naturally hygroscopic and can absorb up to 30% its own weight in moisture without feeling damp.
Tiny fibers trap in air, forming an insulating barrier that gives warmth in a lightweight batt.
Loft retention is excellent, as the fiber sticks to itself to create airspace, instead of relying solely or resins to glue the airspace together.
Heirloom Wool can be quilted up to 3" apart.
Heirloom wool is lightly resinated to provide stability and retard fiber migration.
Hobbs Heirloom Wool Batts are naturally mildew resistant to moth damage when quilted with cotton fabrics.
Use & Care
Heirloom Wool is made with chlorinated treated wool which is intended to prevent shrinkage.
Items made using Heirloom Wool can be washed by hand or using the gentle cycle of the washer. Agitate as little as possible when wet. Agitation could cause felting in wet wool.
Use only tepid or lukewarm water, for both washing or rinsing. The temperature of baby bath water is correct. DO NOT CHANGE WATER TEMPERATURE FROM WASHING TO RINSING.
Use only an extremely gentle wool detergent when washing the finished product. Harriet highly recommends using only Orvus Paste. Wash the article as you would a fine cashmere sweater.
Rinse thoroughly. Be sure that the water runs clear during the last spin cycle. Spin on gentle to remove all excess water.
It is recommended to dry this quilt flat. DRYING IN THE DRYER IS NOT RECOMMENDED. Shrinkage could result because of varying thermostats and lask of temperature control of different dryers. the heat and tumbling action in the dryer can cause shrinkage in the fabric and batting, as well as damage the dyes on the surface of the fabrics.
When drying flat, block and square the quilt on an absorbent surface, such as towels. the use of a fan oscillating over the surface will speed the drying process considerably.
Once the quilt is just barely damp, it can be fluffed in the dryer on AIR only. No Heat. Remove promptly.
