No Jo, not scratchy at all. If fact ( thinking hard here) probably
like a soft felt. A lot softer than any duffel coat I have felt. I
don't know what brand my batting was either but probably Matildas
Own( I simply asked for 'wool batting').
We use 2 quilts in the swag when camping and have found that we are
warmest with the wool quilt closest to us, but I guess that may not
work for you.
Our coldest night has been about 2 deg C with a nice layer of frost on
the swag. DH loves the quilts in the swag as it rolls up so much
smaller than it would if we used sleeping bags inside.

I'm very allergic to wool, and I haven't had any problems with the Hobbs
Wool. I had to wear surgical gloves while touching the Matilda's.

What about after the quilt was finished? Could you touch the quilt
that was made using Matilda's when it was finished?

No problem handling it after it was covered with the cotton fabric. The
problem was in layering it.

I noticed that Creative Grids have Hobbs Tuscany Wool on Special Offer
again at the moment (they call it wadding)
http://www.creativegrids.com/acatalog/Hobs.html
I stocked up when it was on SO before Christmas but haven't used it yet.
However, I do keep stroking it - it is wonderfully soft.
They also have the silk batting on SO - I got some of that too, so have
a different thing for each hand to stroke!.
Their shipping charges are ridiculously low - only £1.95 within the uk
however much you buy (except for mats and they are more). Mine came in a
huge great big carton, still for £1.95. Also if you spend over £30 you
can ask for a discount card that gives you 10% off for ever!
NAYY but my most recent order came yesterday (just tacks for my quilt
gun, some thread, a little square ruler and some silk pins and I got the
10% off.)
