Item Description:
Create soft, beautiful results with Tuscany Unbleached Cotton Batting from Hobbs. Designed for a soft hand and even appearance, this 100% unbleached cotton batting is an excellent choice for quilts made with medium to dark-colored fabrics.
Made from long-staple virgin cotton fibers, Tuscany Unbleached Cotton has a natural cotton color, soft drape, and low loft that make it easy to quilt by hand or machine. With no scrim or binders, this needle-punched batting is designed to resist bunching and shifting while still allowing your finished quilt to develop that gently crinkled, antique-style texture after washing.
This full-size batting is ideal for quilt makers who want a natural cotton feel, soft texture, and a warm unbleached foundation for darker or richer quilt tops. |
SewEndipitous® Maker’s Note:
Unbleached cotton batting brings a soft, natural warmth to a quilt, making it especially lovely behind medium and darker fabrics. For white, cream, or very light quilt tops, bleached cotton batting is usually the better choice to help prevent any shadowing or dulling of the lighter colors.

- Medium and dark-colored quilt tops

Frequently Asked Questions:
Why choose bleached cotton batting?
Bleached cotton batting is ideal for white, cream, pastel, and very light quilt tops because it helps prevent shadowing and keeps lighter fabrics looking clean and bright.
Should this batting be prewashed?
Prewashing is not recommended. Use the batting straight from the package, then wash the finished quilt after quilting.
Will this batting shrink?
Yes. You can expect approximately 3–5% shrinkage, which helps create a soft, antique-style puckering after the quilt is washed.
