Description
Warm & Natural is a beloved batting among quilters world-wide!
Warm & Natural is a fine needle-punched cotton batting! Only 15% of all cotton grown in the USA is the proper length, thickness and color. Out of this 15%, only 5% is clean enough for Warm & Natural! This soft, natural cotton has never been washed or bleached with harsh chemicals. It’s kinder to the environment and kinder to your batting. The cotton undergoes a mechanical cleaning process, removing all of the seeds and seed coats, along with the majority of leaf and stem remnants. The remaining tiny plant particles lend a special look to crafts like no other and won’t harm your quilt.
Quilt or tie up to 10″ apart. Pre-washing is unnecessary--quilt Warm & Natural right out of the package. Once quilted, machine wash and dry your finished quilt in cold water. 3% shrinkage can be expected in the first wash with cold water. Use warm water for 5% shrinkage to achieve an antique puckered look. Warm & Natural won’t distort when hanging, hooping, or used in quilt frames. It can be used for both batting and as an exterior craft fabric to create stuffed snowmen and rabbits.
The Warm Company is proud to purchase over 4 million pounds of American cotton annually for processing by American workers in our American manufacturing facilities. This cotton is used in the American quilting tradition and is shared worldwide! Warm and Natural contains a polypropylene scrim.
