PLEASE NOTE: because of its bulk, if we’re posting wadding, we need to charge extra because of increased delivery costs. So add your wadding and also add the delivery surcharge (£4.00) to your basket. This surcharge is in addition to the standard parcel charge of £3.75. If you forget to add the surcharge, we’ll need to contact you for payment BEFORE we can despatch your order. Alternatively, choose Store Pick-Up at check out and collect your order from us for free.

Wadding is the jam in any quilt sandwich! All waddings are used to provide warmth and quilting texture. At Hometown, we regularly quilt with all our different waddings, so we know they’re good to stitch with and produce great results.

All our waddings can be quilted by hand or machine and are washable. Plus we know our prices are really good. Just this month, we’ve seen the 90-in cotton wadding being sold in a well known shop for £17/m. At Hometown, it’s £14.00/m.

For help with calculating wadding quantities for your quilt, please call us on 01634 838880.

The following 3 waddings are all classified as 4oz weight and are suitable for bed or wall quilts as they have a soft feel and a good drape. They’re made without bleaching, so have a natural cream appearance. Online, our wadding is priced and sold by the quarter metre (25cm), so you can order exactly the length you need. So for 1 metre, order a quantity of 4, for 1.5 metres (a good length for a baby quilt), order 6 and so on.

Eco wadding: 70% recycled cotton and 30% recycled polyester -soft

100% cotton - softer

Bamboo Blend: 50% bamboo fibre and 50% cotton - softest

Plus we also have 2 specialist waddings.

Insulating: 100% polyester fibre with a Mylar heat-resistant film layer - white. This is used for place mats, table runners, tea cosies and oven mitts as it retains the heat. In tea cosies and oven mitts, you can combine with another wadding for a more quilted effect. Not suitable for bed quilts.

Thermolam: 100% polyester - white - compressed wadding which looks like a thick felt. Great value and good for advent calendars, bags or wall quilts. Not recommended for bed quilts or sofa throws as it doesn’t drape like the natural waddings.
