The WoolGrown Project
What if plastics could be replaced in horticultural and outdoor planting systems?
WoolGrown began with this question and a belief that wool could play a much bigger role in how we grow. By harnessing the natural properties of wool, we are developing felted wool growing fabrics and mulches designed to replace plastic-based materials in gardens, farms and landscapes.
Our products are made from 100% Canadian wool, manufactured in Ontario and designed to biodegrade naturally at the end of its life.
The WoolGrown Project is an ongoing exploration of how undervalued wool can become a functional, regenerative input—supporting growers while reducing reliance on plastics in growing systems.
Lindsey Weber, sheep producer and entrepreneur, used wool fibre to develop a range of sustainable, biodegradable weed-suppression and horticulture alternatives to plastic.
Waste Reduction & Novel Uses for Wool
WoolGrown aims to keep wool out of the waste stream and return it to meaningful use in growing systems. Much of the wool produced in Canada has limited access to traditional markets. We see this not as a problem, but as an opportunity.
Through research, field trials and hands-on manufacturing, we explore novel ways to use wool as a regenerative growing input. From felted wool landscape fabrics to pelletized soil amendments and plant protection products. Each application is designed to improve soil health, retain moisture, suppress weeds and biodegrade naturally at the end of its life.
By working directly with growers, researchers and land stewards, WoolGrown helps close the loop transforming an undervalued agricultural by-product into functional, earth-friendly materials for growing.

Custom Wool Pelletizing
For farmers, mills and organizations looking to turn raw or surplus wool into a practical, high-value soil input.
Pelletizing transforms raw wool into an easy-to-use, biodegradable product that improves moisture retention, supports root growth and feeds the soil as it breaks down.
Small to mid-scale projects, our process makes pelletizing accessible for on-farm use, research trials, wholesale applications and small-batch product development.
