Wood wool made in Thuringia – spruce & pine

The hamper is packed and the jars are ready – but something's still missing to make it all look lovingly put together. That's where wood wool comes in: a few loose strands of natural spruce and pine, and your gift instantly looks warm, natural and thoughtfully arranged – as if made for your hamper. And along the way, delicate contents sit softly and safely in place.

What changes for you

• Your gifts and hampers look neat and well thought out at first glance. That's because the fine, light-coloured wood wool cushions every item softly and puts it clearly on show.
• You can send ceramics, glass and bottles with more peace of mind – because the loose structure cushions light knocks and reliably fills gaps in the box.
• You can craft and decorate more freely – because wood wool is easy to shape, tease apart and combine with other natural materials, from Easter décor to Christmas arrangements.
• You don't have to think twice when throwing it away – because the material is natural, untreated and biodegradable.
• You buy exactly the amount you need – thanks to six pack sizes from 50 g to 1,000 g.

Why wood wool makes a difference every day

Whether on a laid table, in a shop window or when packing orders: wood wool sits loose and springy. Its pale, narrow fibres look like real wood shavings. No plastic filler can match that. A gift nestled in wood wool feels soft and feathery as soon as it's opened. On the shop counter or at a market stall, it gives your display a handcrafted look. So simple packing becomes part of the whole impression.

Material & finish

Bütic wood wool is made from fine spruce and pine wood from German forests and produced in Thuringia. It's natural and untreated – so what you're holding is a pure natural material that's pleasantly light and easy to shape. Colour variations, different wood textures, small irregularities in the grain or the odd knot are typical of the material and not a defect: it's exactly these natural differences that make every batch unique.

• Shipping fragile goods: cushion ceramics, glassware or bottles and fill the gaps in the box – the loose structure absorbs light knocks, and unpacking becomes a little treat for the recipient.

• For animals: depending on the species, wood wool can be used as natural bedding or enrichment material in cages and enclosures – please always consider the individual needs of the animals concerned.

Long before plastic packing chips and bubble wrap existed, wood wool was the classic cushioning material for shipping delicate goods – from porcelain to wine bottles. The reason it's so popular again today is exactly this proven protection combined with its natural look: it doesn't just pack, it presents as well.
