Very right. We're often misled by "green" claims and companies have figured this out. Supposedly the bamboo batting is somehow antibacterial too, but I don't know what the basis of this claim is. I'll Google it.

I always pre-shrink my Warm and Natural - I put it in the washer, fill it with warm water and let the batting soak for 10 minutes - just leave the washer lid open. Then spin the water out and throw it in the dryer on low. I measured the batting before and after shrinking, and it hardly shrunk at all! The batting comes out nice and fluffy and no wrinkles.

I stick with the warm & natural for majority of my battings.
I use Insul Brite if I'm making potholders.
Hope this helps..I know I just learned something about the w&n batting and to throw it in the dryer w/damp cloth..to take out the wrinkles.. :thumbup:
