This Gotland is truly a showstopper – massive, wonderfully weighty, and incredibly soft. Our team has diligently hand-brushed most of the newest shipment of Gotland sheepskins, which might give them a slightly fuzzier appearance. However, rest assured, the tactile experience of these sheepskins is absolutely heavenly, offering an unparalleled level of softness that distinguishes them.
It's completely normal to find small, natural dreadlocks of wool within Gotland sheepskins. This is a testament to their exceptionally fine and silky wool, a characteristic that makes them so sought-after.
Our sheepskins are priced on a thoughtful scale, reflecting the unique variations in size, the luxurious texture, and the overall appeal of each individual piece.
The lineage of Gotland sheep dates back to the formidable Viking era, a testament to centuries of careful refinement. This meticulous breeding has culminated in what many experts and enthusiasts now consider to be the most desirable sheepskins in the world. Originally from Sweden, these robust sheep thrive in open fields, where they are constantly caressed by the cool, invigorating winds blowing in from the Baltic Sea. Like all our other Oliver luxury sheepskins, Gotland sheepskins are a responsible byproduct of the meat industry, ensuring that no part of the animal goes to waste, aligning with our commitment to sustainability.
Most often, these striking Gotland sheepskins are cherished as luxurious pieces for the home. They effortlessly add an exotic feel and unique texture to any space, transforming ordinary rooms into extraordinary sanctuaries. The feel of these Gotland sheepskins can range from super silky soft to a more subtly coarse, natural texture, and the wool length can vary beautifully from long and flowing to elegantly short. Each Angus Oliver sheepskin, including this magnificent Gotland sheepskin 52x31, offers a distinct and memorable sensory experience.
It's worth noting that these exquisite Gotland sheepskins might occasionally have a few natural mats in the wool. This is a common and entirely natural characteristic; in fact, the silkier the pelt, the more prone it can be to gentle felting. We truly see this as an inherent part of the charm and natural beauty of owning and enjoying genuine Gotland sheepskins – it’s a sign of their authentic, unprocessed quality.
If you choose to brush these sheepskins, they will indeed become very frizzy, though they will retain their incredible softness. For maintaining their natural allure and distinctive texture, they are best left unbrushed.
