Recently I found an ad on Craigslist for free fleece scraps for insulation. The ad says: This is new material, completely clean, from our sewing production. The fleece is inherently flame resistant. We manufacture clothing to protect people from fire so the fleece will not burn, perfect for insulation.

I didn't know that fleece was flame resistant and/or if it would be good for this kind of thing.

I recently found access on the ceiling for the first floor joists and can see from one end to the other. My thought was to pack the space with the free fleece scraps to help sound insulate.

Any objections or advice?
