How can I tell if mine is too thin?

Usually only with the freeholder’s or managing agent’s agreement. Check your lease, then let us know when you get in touch.
Does sheep’s wool insulate as well as mineral wool?
About as well, depth for depth. People choose it because it’s pleasant to handle and copes well with damp.
