[Jacob-list] wool to quilts

[Sugar Hill Farm]

Hi there,

I have some of my wool made into quilt batts.  I quilt too.  It hand quilts
really easily.  Does seem to be weather friendly too.

Only thing I can think to watch for is the batts can be made thin for hand
quilting or thick for comforter/tied quilts.
