A News Roll You Don’t Read
The design requires no filling material due to the structure of the felt material. However, collecting newspapers makes the news roll more comfortable and provides an incentive to reuse rather than recycle. The product is lightweight (without newspapers) and multi functional, with use as a mat, screen, stool and cushion, using 100% natural wool.
I appreciate the “green” attempt of this design but there could be a number of improvements. On is to forget the wool and use sustainable cotton.

Wool is a natural material, not a material material!
Sorry!

Actually. Cotton is not really that sustainable because it needs to be extensively processed, even the “sustainable” kind. Hemp would be better.
