Warm & Natural is the world's leading needle-punched cotton batting, trusted by quilters globally for its softness, reliability, and ease of use. Made from 100% natural cotton that has never been bleached or washed with harsh chemicals, it undergoes a mechanical cleaning process that removes seeds and plant matter while preserving the integrity of the fibre. The tiny remaining plant particles give it a distinctive, natural character.
No glues or resins are used in manufacture, so the needle passes through easily for both hand and machine quilting. The needle-punch process locks fibres together, preventing shifting, migration, and bearding. Expect approximately 3% shrinkage in the first cold wash, or 5% in warm water for a classic antique puckered finish.
