Why is wool a good material to use for projects and crafting?
Wool is fantastic for using for projects and crafting. It is the warmest and most environmentally-friendly type of wadding you can use.
The wool in this wadding is washed which smooths the wool fibres making them more pleasant to the touch and to work with. Although this wadding is lightweight, fine and malleable, wool is a strong fibre which ensures the wadding doesn’t beard or migrate as you work with it. In fact, wool fibres are able to resist tearing and are able to be bent back on themselves over 20,000 times without breaking (basically, it is very forgiving when working with it!).
Wool is a great material for wadding in quilts and coats because of lots of naturally occurring properties. One of its main properties is that it is hygroscopic. This means that as the humidity of the surrounding air rises and falls, the fibre absorbs and releases water vapour. Heat is generated and retained during the absorption phase, which makes wool multi-climatic and trans-seasonal. When it needs to be, it is a natural insulator, reacting to changes in body temperature. This capacity to absorb and release moisture also makes it naturally breathable and odour resistant (releasing sweat into the air before bacteria has a chance to develop and produce unpleasant body odour). As we mentioned earlier, wool is also a very resilient which means when using it in garments and blankets, compared to synthetic alternatives it is able to retain its shape in the long term without wrinkling or sagging. You can read more about the properties of wool on the Campaign for Wool website.
Can I wash this product?
Unlike some other quilting waddings, our range has not undergone any artificial processing such as chlorination, acid stripping or plastic coating which is often used in the production of ‘superwash’ and machine washable wool.
We do not recommend that you wash this wadding before use. If you really want to wash your wadding or finished hand-made item and avoid vintage-style puckering then you can try gentle hand washing in 20 degrees centigrade and then air dry on a flat surface. However, this can in some instances stretch out the fibres and cause some areas of uneven thickness.
Do you have other types of wool wadding?
Yes we do! Please see the table below to see the different types of wool wadding we have.

At the core of Chimney Sheep is our Community Interest Company, Buy Land Plant Trees (BLPT). For every purchase you make with us, 20% of the profit facilitates the planting of trees on agriculturally poor land in Cumbria.
We set up BLPT in 2019 as a ‘boots on the ground’ tree planting initiative. The company is run by us and the tree planting is done by us. We do it to help you and us to reduce our impact on the planet. The trees we plant reduce CO2 output as well as contribute to the reduction of flooding and the creation of habitats for wildlife.
BLPT isn’t a tick box exercise nor a distant and detached carbon offset company. In fact, this is as much part of our business as the products we sell and is an integral part of our ethos. We are big believers in the phrase ‘think globally, act locally’ and want to make a genuine difference
I used my wool wadding to add some warmth to a coat I was making without adding bulk. This wadding was the best value I could find for the amount I needed, and hasn't disappointed. I used a spray adhesive to stick it to oversized lining pieces and then quilted it in with fairly large spacings. Retrimmed and then sewed as normal. The wool was packed carefully with tissue paper so the layers didn't stick together, all arrived with time to spare and the coat is holding up brilliantly, and is super snug. Thank you!
