Yarn + wool + Patterns
From our wool mill to your garden!
Use wool pellets in your garden beds or containers to
- Manage soil moisture -- wool can absorb 30% of its weight in water for slow release
- Improve soil quality -- wool improves aeration and adds nutrients as it breaks down
- Deter slugs + other pests -- when used as mulch
At Skagit Woolen Works, they take all that wool that can't be spun into beautiful yarn or processed to roving for handspinners and turn it into garden gold.
- 10 oz size: This bag is enough for approximately one 10 gallon pot or 2x2 feet of garden bed
- 1.5 lb size: This bag is enough for approximately one 25 gallon pot or 3x3 feet of garden bed
Wool pellets are 100% locally-sourced, biodegradable, and sheep-safe.
For garden beds, mix pellets in with existing soil at approximately 5% volume before planting, or sprinkle pellets into furroughs as you plant your seeds or starts.
For outdoor pots, mix pellets in with potting soil at approximately 2% volume before planting.

A winter gift for you...
If you’re anything like me, you’ve got a love–hate relationship with getting the kids to school on time.
He can’t find his shoes. She wants the blue pants — not those blue pants.
It’s a love-them, hate-the-process situation.
And when we finally get out the door? Blast of icy-cold wind to the face.
When days start like that, all I want by evening is to curl up under a blanket by the fire with something comforting on the table — the kind of food that really sticks to your bones and brings everyone back together.
That’s what inspired me to share a few of our favorite winter lamb recipes.
