Customer Project: Wool Insulated Camping Quilt

by Matajuro

• OVERVIEW
• HOW DO I MAKE IT
• MATERIALS

• It's a camping quilt that uses wool batting as its insulation. Its half the weight of my synthetic sleeping bag and should give as much or more warmth. Plus it sheds water and should be able to insulate when wet so they say. Finished product is 1 kg., though it packs up to be the same size roughly. I will need to make another one with a thinner batting for summer weather.
