Havelock Wool
“Farm to walls” building insulation made from sheep’s wool. Made of 100% wool (with a small amount of natural boric acid added as an insect repellant). Their wool is sourced in New Zealand where sheep roam pastoral lands and eat grass in serene settings. It is blended and washed there before being shipped to their manufacturing facility in Nevada where they make both loose-fill and batt form insulation.
Good Shepherd Wool Insulation
Natural wool for wall insulation, treated with the natural mineral boron to repel mice, moths, mildew and insects. They also make WEKA, “a wool-based building insulation incorporating a sheep wool and lime which allows the panels to be installed as a semirigid insulation on top of existing dry walls to retrofit homes.”
