These compressed pellets break down slowly in soil, releasing nitrogen, retaining moisture, and improving aeration.
Unlike synthetic fertilizers, they support the whole soil ecosystem, and they’re entirely biodegradable—transforming forgotten wool into a tool for regeneration.

Across the U.S., ranches are shearing sheep and ending up with what's called "waste wool." (Wool that is too coarse for textiles.) Unfortunately, this product often ends up in storage—or in the trash.
But a few enterprising ranchers are turning this otherwise-overlooked material into wool pellets.

Wool pellets are a brilliant, climate-smart solution that turns overlooked "waste wool" into powerful plant food.

The Earth gives us soil, fiber, and color—everything. On Earth Day, we remember our role in giving back.
Fibershed is building a textile system that restores land, supports local economies, and reconnects us to the source. 🌱
