A wool comforter or hand-tied quilt has the wonderful quality of
keeping one warm in winter yet cool in summer. By weight wool has
more air-trapping ability than any other fiber, giving wool-filled
quilts and comforters greater warmth on cold winter nights. Yet
wool breathes naturally, allowing air to circulate freely. It has
the ability to keep the skin dry, making a wool comforter cool in
summer. Wool is comfortable...a fact well known by our
grandmothers.
Two types of wool batts are available: unlined and lined.
An unlined batt, pictured above, is hand-washed and carded prime
Romney wool that can be gently stretched to a desired measurement.
Prices for these batts are $18 per pound.

A lined batt, pictured below, is hand-washed and carded prime
Romney wool that is encased in a 100% unbleached cotton muslin
cover and handtied throughout. These lined batts are ready to
slip into the duvet cover of your choice.
Two sizes of lined batts are available: twin and full/queen.
These two sizes accomodate most standard twin and full/queen
duvets on the market. If the lined batt is a little larger
than a given duvet size, the duvet appears full and plump. If the
lined batt is a little smaller than a given duvet size, a smooth
clean line is created with the duvet. Loop tabs are sewed at the
corners of the lined batt as well as along each side. These may
be used to fasten the wool batt to the duvet cover, preventing
shifting.

Quilters find patchwork tops make lovely duvet covers. Used
with muslin-lined batts, the patchwork covers are easily removed
for laundering, while keeping all the benefits of a wool-filled comforter.
