Tuscany Silk batting is flexible, soft and drapes like no other batting on the market. The comfortable feel is ideal for both quilts and garments. Silk has the natural ability to breath, making it an excellent choice for airy, lightweight quilts and coverlets. The product provides excellent warmth with very little weight. This Tuscany Silk Batting is a blend of 90% very fine imported silk filaments and 10% fine polyester. It is carded and resin bonded to help retard bearding and fiber migration. Unlike other silk battings, it need not be handled with gloves or encased in cheesecloth. It quilts brilliantly by hand or machine.
