[Cob] Wool Batting for InsulationDulane silkworm at spiderhollow.comSun Nov 19 11:52:09 CST 2006
Howdy! I am wondering about the possible demand for wool batting for use in insulation for a cob building. It would, of course need to be washed...and treated with Borax or similar debugger, and batted/woven together. The reason I'm asking is that my new son-in-law has a herd of sheep...and is looking for a market for the wool this spring. He recently moved here from Belgium, and is trying to plan how to use the wool. For him, wool is secondary, as he uses the sheep for grazing sensitive wetland areas, parks, etc...in lieu of needing herbicides. We are in Western WA.
