Sounds like you're describing blown in fiberglass to me.

Sounds like cellulose insulation. It is normally made out of recycled materials (usually mostly recycled newspapers). The stuff is great because it isn't itchy, and is not as harmful on the lungs as fiberglass.
There is a manufacturers association for it "CIMA" http://www.cellulose.org .
Although they do also make cotton batting & loose fill insulation. What color was it?

Sounds like blown fiberglass to me. I crawl through about a mile and half of that stuff every week.

Sounds like "Insul-fil" White tuffed soft non-irritating, hypo allergenic, blah, blah, blah. Good stuff.

Thanks for the link Chad. That's the stuff.
Pretty nice too, you don't come out of an attic itching and sneezing, hard to believe it's fiberglass.
