[Cob] Buying bulk wool

[Amanda Peck]

Congratulations on finishing a project!

I did a search (google) on wool insulation.  Most of the first page was real 
wool insulation, although the first item up was a cellulose product called 
nu-wool.  Here are two random links. I've never dealt with any of these guys 
before, so I don't know how reliable any of them are.  Caveat emptor--buyer 
beware.

If there are sheep farmers in your area, you might ask if some of them have 
low-grade wool that for whatever reason they did not put on the market back 
in the spring.

	I just finished a cob greenhouse, and need to insulate the
roof.  I'd like to use wool, but as winter is just starting, no one
(around here) is shearing :)  Does anyone have a good resource for
bulk wool?  It doesn't need to be cleaned or carded.  Also, does
anyone have numbers on density, so I can calculate coverage when
buying by the pound?  I seem to remember around 1.5 pounds/ft3, but I
can't remember where I read that.
