Warm and Natural Twin Size Batting. This is one of the most widely used battings in the world, and it is a staple for quilters who want that classic, "antique" cotton look.
Warm & Natural® Cotton Batting – Twin Size (72" x 90")
The World’s Favorite Needle-Punched Cotton
Warm & Natural is the "workhorse" of the quilting world, trusted for over 30 years for its reliability, strength, and traditional feel. This 100% natural, unbleached cotton is needle-punched into a thin, strong base (polypropylene scrim) to prevent tearing, shifting, or migration, making it one of the easiest battings to use for both machine and hand quilting.
Why You’ll Love It:
The "Antique" Look: Because this cotton is unbleached and natural, it contains tiny flecks of cotton seed and leaf remnants. When washed, it provides that beautiful, slightly puckered "antique" look that so many quilters love.
Exceptional Stability: The needle-punching process means this batting will not separate or bunch, even after years of washing. It won’t distort when you’re hanging a quilt or hooping a project.
Superior "Cling": The natural cotton fibers have a slight "grip" that helps your quilt top and backing stay in place while you’re pinning or basting.
Stitcher’s Choice: You have incredible design freedom—quilt or tie up to 10" apart. Your needles (whether on a domestic machine or a longarm) will glide through the fibers without catching on glues or resins.
No Pre-Washing Required: You can take it straight from the package to your project. If you want a more flat, modern look, wash in cold water (3% shrinkage). For a more crinkled, vintage look, wash in warm water (5% shrinkage).
Loft: Low Loft (approx. 1/8")
Shrinkage: 3% (cold wash) to 5% (warm wash)
