In addition to being a superb moisture holder, the natural sea wool sponge is also tear resistant. If harvested correctly, sea sponges are a renewable resource and are ecologically friendly. With larger pores than the silk and elephant ear varieties, seawool sponges are especially great for absorbing large loads of water from the interior of pots while throwing. They are also used to apply glaze to give a stippling effect. (Also known as sea wool, sheep’s wool, natural sea, and natural sponges.)
