Trying a new wadding - wool/cotton blend

I have been quiet lately because I have not done much sewing - family life takes over sometimes as does the admin of sewing - I seem to have spent a lot of time at committee meetings for quilting groups!  I have done some spending though, including a new (to me) kind of wadding - half cotton, half wool.  I got it from the Cotton Patch, who brand it, but not sure where it is produced ie which country.  I love wool wadding for all kinds of quilting but it is expensive, especially with the current exchange rate.  With raw wool prices so low in this country I have never quite understood why we cannot produce it here, although there may be an issue with the breeds farmer use here.  Anyway, I hope to layer up a curved log cabin quilt in the next few days so I will report back on how it performs.
