This natural woodwool is a hamper filler of fine wood shavings, hygienic, non-static and safe for use with food, in three pack sizes. The 2.5 kg bale measures 56 x 29 x 13 cm and fills around 24 of our 14 inch hampers; the 5 kg bale is 56 x 29 x 26 cm and fills around 48; the 10 kg box is 40 cm square and fills around 96.
Non-static is the word to notice if you are packing more than a handful of hampers at a time. Shredded paper clings, to hands, to sleeves and to whatever you are trying to put into the basket, and by the twentieth hamper you are picking it off everything. Wood wool does not behave that way: it stays where it is put, which makes it considerably quicker to work with. It is also coarser and springier than paper, so it holds a bottle steady instead of compressing flat underneath it, and the look is rustic rather than shiny, which sits better in a willow basket than anything shredded and dyed.

FAQs
How much do I need?
Work from the pack figures rather than the weight: 2.5 kg covers around 24 of our 14 inch hampers, 5 kg around 48 and 10 kg around 96. Pack them generously and you will get through it faster, so round up if the numbers are tight.
Woodwool or shredded paper?
Wood wool is non-static and springier, which makes it faster to work with and better at holding a bottle upright. Shredded paper is finer, comes in colours and sits flatter in the basket. People packing at volume tend to prefer wood wool; people matching a colour scheme tend to prefer paper.
Is it safe with food?
Yes. It is hygienic and safe for use with food, which is why it is the filler of choice for hampers with unpackaged items such as bread or cheese going into them.
What does it actually look like?
Pale, fine curls of wood, rustic rather than uniform. It reads as traditional packing material rather than as retail packaging, which is why it suits a willow basket.
