recycled fiber batting
Want a soft, dependable filling that's kinder to the planet? Recycled fiber batting gives quilters and crafters the warmth and loft they expect while helping keep post-consumer materials out of landfills. Much of it is made as recycled polyester batting, often spun from plastic bottles, so you can finish a cozy project with a lighter footprint.
Why Choose Sustainable Batting?
Eco-friendly quilt batting is more than a feel-good pick. Polyester-based recycled batts tend to be lightweight, resist mildew, and hold their shape through repeated washing, which makes them practical for everyday quilts, baby blankets, and gifts.
What to Look For
- Loft: Low-loft batting suits flat, traditional quilting, while higher loft adds puffiness for tied quilts and comforters.
- Quilting distance: Check how far apart your stitching lines can be so the batt stays stable.
- Fiber content: Some batts blend recycled fibers with cotton for a softer drape.
- Size: Pick a batt or roll that fits your project with room to spare.
