Super soft and silky to the touch, these Gotland sheepskins have a luxurious, substantial weight. It's totally normal to find a few natural dreadlocks in the wool of Gotland sheepskins, especially because their wool is so incredibly fine and silky.
Our sheepskins are all individually priced, reflecting the unique variations in size, texture, and overall appeal of each one.
Gotland sheep have a fascinating history, with their lineage tracing all the way back to the formidable Viking era. Centuries of careful refinement have transformed them into what many now consider to be the source of the most desirable sheepskins in the world. Originally from Sweden, these robust sheep spend most of their lives grazing in open fields, where they're constantly brushed by the cool winds blowing in from the Baltic Sea. Just like all our other Oliver luxury sheepskins, Gotland sheepskins are a responsible byproduct of the meat industry, ensuring no part of the animal goes to waste.
Most often, these striking Gotland sheepskins are used as luxurious pieces for the home, instantly adding an exotic feel and unique texture to any space. The feel of the wool can range from super silky soft to more subtly coarse, and the wool length itself can vary beautifully from long and flowing to wonderfully short. Each Oliver luxury sheepskin offers a distinct sensory experience, like a Gotland sheepskin 52x31 bringing a truly unique touch to your decor.
It's worth noting that these exquisite Gotland sheepskins might occasionally have a few natural mats in the wool. This is a common characteristic, as the silkier the pelt, the more prone it can be to gentle felting. We see this as an inherent part of the charm and natural beauty of enjoying genuine Gotland sheepskins, making each one even more authentic.
If you decide to brush these sheepskins, they will indeed become very frizzy, though incredibly soft. For maintaining their natural allure, they are best not brushed.
