Janesville-based Monterey Mills, the largest manufacturer of knit pile fabric in the U.S., has become somewhat of an Internet sensation since it posted videos demonstrating the fabric’s abilities to absorb oil. Company officials made two recent trips to the Gulf region to test and demonstrate its wool fabric that absorbs oil. The product, they said, picks up and retains four or five times its weight in oil and is 100 percent biodegradable. BP has whittled more than 100,000 submitted cleanup solutions for its oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico down to 150—including Monterey Mills'—for further investigation.
