In the pasture, the soft rustle of grazing sheep merges with the occasional chime from the bell around our ram, Zuzu, gently punctuating the quiet. It’s here that wool begins its journey, serving as a living thread that weaves together land, animals, and soil in a cycle as old as shepherding itself.
Pelletized Wool
Wool Pellets - Derived from the shorter, coarser fibers of shearing, such as belly and britch wool that aren’t suited for spinning—holds a gift for the soil. When added to garden beds or mixed into potting soil, it absorbs and releases water like a sponge, nurtures plants with slow-releasing nitrogen, aerates the soil encouraging roots to stretch deeper, and as it decomposes, wool feeds the soil, creating a regenerative balance that enriches the earth.
Whether in the garden or on your windowsill, wool pellets help plants thrive with less water and fewer inputs. Beyond practicality, wool pellets invite a mindful approach to gardening, connecting you to the sheep who grew the fleece, the shepherd who cared for them, and a way of growing that seeks balance rather than shortcuts. It’s a way to care for the earth while nurturing your own little patch of it, whether outdoors in a flower bed or indoors with a houseplant.
​
By choosing wool pellets, you divert what would otherwise be discarded wool from landfills, reduce the need for non-renewable materials like peat, avoid introducing microplastics into the soil, and support shepherds.​​
