recycled batting
Recycled batting lets you finish a cozy, beautifully quilted project while keeping reclaimed fibers out of landfills. Whether you're stitching a bed quilt, a baby blanket, or a set of placemats, this eco-friendly quilt batting delivers the warmth and loft you expect with a lighter footprint.
Why Choose Sustainable Batting?
Sustainable batting is typically made from post-consumer or post-industrial fibers, such as recycled polyester from plastic bottles or reclaimed cotton blends. It gives quilters a greener option without giving up softness or durability.
What to Look For
- Fiber content: Recycled polyester batting offers loft and resilience, while recycled cotton batting drapes softly and breathes well.
- Loft: Low loft suits flat, traditional quilting. Higher loft adds puffiness for comforters.
- Quilting distance: Check the packaging for the recommended stitch spacing.
- Care: Note any pre-washing or shrinkage guidance before you start.
