Eco-Friendly Natural Waddings - Bamboo Wadding, Bamboo/Cotton Wadding, Soy/Cotton Wadding, Wool/Cotton Wadding

The Cotton Patch are very happy to announce our own-brand range of waddings. The four new waddings are made from wool, bamboo fibre or soy protein fibre blended with cotton to provide a more sustainable alternative to using 100% cotton wadding. All types are suitable for a wide variety of craft projects including quilts, wall hangings, doll making and other crafts that require a filler. Excellent for hand or machine quilting.

I was expecting the bamboo wadding to be soft since I have a baby and his bamboo blankets are wonderfully soft. What I wasn't expecting was how good the soy blend felt, it really is wonderfully soft and smooth.

As well as the new range we also have the Dream Green Waddings made from recycled bottles.

The Cotton Patch has a large range of waddings and battings, which include silk, wool, polyester and cotton, from well known manufacters such as Hobbs, Warm and Naural and Quilters Dream in sizes from Crib to King.

Quilters Dream Green Wadding

Try stuffing 28 green plastic bottles into your next quilt!!


Quilters Dream Green uses a new generation of soft, cozy, green polyester fibre made from recycled plastic bottles. Not only does this eco-friendly process help to reduce landfill, it produces a wonderful wadding that is excellent for machine quilting and very good for hand quilting.

It can be washed and dried with little to no shrinkage, it's wrinkle resistant and, although no scrim or resins are used, you can stitch up to 30cm (12") apart (and don't worry about the "natural" light green colour - it's colourfast).

Available in four precut sizes:

• King uses 28 plastic bottles
• Queen uses 20 plastic bottles
• Twin uses 13 plastic bottles
• Crib uses 5.5 plastic bottles.
