Can learn felting as a craft if you don't spin.

It apparently makes good mulch.

Soaked in borax it becomes fire resistant and is used as insulation. Don't know if that is even worthwhile to try at home.

I've heard about washing the wool in the washing machine after skirting. Stuff it in zippered pillowcase to do so. I dont remember what soap to use and if it was just cold water so it doesnt felt. Been too long since I'd read about it. Never got the fencing up for sheep.
