In-Depth Review
Revolutionary Plant Support
Common garden twines are often made of synthetic plastics or treated jute that contains chemical dyes. Two Dogs Company, a woman-owned enterprise, introduced the Wool Spool to provide a truly circular solution. This twine is made from British wool, which is naturally strong yet soft enough not to cut into delicate plant stems like tomato vines or heavy flower heads.
Compostable Living: At the end of the season, there is no need to pick twine out of your dead plants. Simply toss the entire plant and the wool twine into the compost bin where it will nitrogenize the soil as it breaks down.
The Power of Wool
Wool is a neglected resource in many parts of the world. Two Dogs Company sources their wool from British farmers, providing a market for a material that is often discarded. Wool has natural grip, meaning knots stay tied even in windy conditions, and its hygroscopic nature allows it to hold moisture, which can be beneficial to plant stems during hot days.
- Carbon Positive: Wool is a renewable fiber that sequesters carbon.
- Gentle on Plants: The soft texture prevents the friction damage common with nylon.
- Microplastic Free: Leaves zero synthetic residue in your garden soil.
Impact and Ethics
Two Dogs Company is a member of 1% for the Planet, donating a portion of every sale to environmental non-profits. Their packaging is entirely plastic-free, using only recycled cardstock and vegetable-based inks. By supporting the British wool industry, they are also helping maintain traditional pastoral landscapes and rural livelihoods.
