Organic Wool Mulch
During the shearing and skirting process, about 10% of the animal’s wool is unsellable as part of a fleece. What isn’t good for a fleece or dryer balls, we sell as mulch. This is the extra-matted, stained, extra-dirty trims from skirting (spine clumps, weathered edges, short/tangled bits). Unwashed. May include small pasture debris or poop.
We’ve got about 20 lbs available. Email us if you want it! $3/lb.
