In my years of intense research in hydroponic systems I have come across a load of artificial and toxic materials, here I am using wool as an alternative.

Through my research I have found that plants with basic root structures like micro greens and grasses love wool. The protein fiber has body for them to grow in and the fiber has rich nutrients in which the plants can thrive off of. This rug is the beginning of my research with wool and growing- showcasing hand spun yarn with seeds implanted in it, wool roving and yarns hand tufted, and wool felting.
