Well here at last are some pics! We have just finished production of a huge batch of woolly insulation for RiverfordOrganics and while I hop over to France for a bit my wonderful team will make a start on the house insulation we have to start installing in September! We have a great wool cutting machine.....pictured here.....now if you want one please don't try and copy it as we are copyrighting the design, ask and we will gladly give you a quote to make one for you!
Also here are the wonderful Ewe Boots.....which will go into production soon....designed and made by a team of students headed by a lovely young lady called Holly!
And as if thats not enough here are our sustainable recycled wood
farmers market boxes!
It is very exciting times at Woolly Waste!
We have been able to put a lot of local wool into the current mix of wool going into insulation and we have also now got the washing machine going flat out along with the drying racks.....the first processing customers will get their finished products as soon as I get back ......

Kind regards

Have a great break in France and look forward to hearing from you soon, Sarah :-)
