They don't say what it actually is. (unless it is just too
early and I missed it) Looks like it might be a good
baby quilt choice. ANyone ever use the stuff?

IIRC, it's a fire retardant version of dream poly. They sent me a sample a
while back -- it seemed nice, but I don't get any call for that kind of
thing.

I haven't used it, I do have samples of it. They will not ever say
what it is other than it won't melt to the child and it doesn't have
chemicals.... so maybe a wool blend? I'm guessing I don't know, but I
do know that a wool wrap around cotton can pass as flame retardant for
some things....

I just went down and grabbed a bag out of my batting stash and it says
only that it is a man made fiber. Wierd... I thought you had to
disclose what it was made out of by law....

AFAIK, you do have to disclose fiber content ... how will the end user
know if it's hypoallergenic? When you use "man-made" fibers, you're
talking chemicals ... and allergies can arise ... I mean, if you sell
mattresses, pillows, duvets, etc, there's *always* that little scratchy
tag .... :)
