The colours in this particular Gotland sheepskin are truly stunning, showcasing the unique beauty these hides offer.
It's totally normal to find a few naturally occurring dreadlocks or mats in Gotland sheepskins. Their wool is incredibly fine and silky, and this delicate texture makes them a bit more prone to gentle felting, especially the silkier pelts. We actually see these as part of the natural charm and authenticity of owning a genuine Gotland sheepskin, adding to its unique character.
Our oliver luxury sheepskins are priced individually, reflecting their unique attributes like size, the exceptional texture of the wool, and their overall visual appeal. This specific Gotland sheepskin, measuring around 52x31 inches, offers a generous size perfect for a variety of uses.
Gotland sheep have a fascinating history, with a lineage that stretches all the way back to the formidable Viking era. Centuries of careful refinement have transformed them into what many now consider to be the most desirable sheepskins in the world. Originally from Sweden, these robust sheep thrive in open fields, constantly brushed by the cool winds blowing in from the Baltic Sea. Just like all our other sheepskins, Gotland sheepskins are a responsible byproduct of the meat industry, ensuring no part of the animal goes to waste, aligning with our commitment to sustainability.
Most often, these striking Gotland sheepskins are used to bring a touch of luxury and an exotic feel to any home. They introduce a unique texture to a space, whether it's draped over a sofa, laid on the floor as a rug, or used as a luxurious throw. The tactile experience can range from super silky soft to a more subtly coarse feel, and the wool length varies from long and flowing to beautifully short. Each Angus Oliver sheepskin truly offers a distinct sensory experience that elevates your home decor.
If you're wondering about care, brushing these sheepskins will indeed make them very frizzy, even though they'll feel incredibly soft. For maintaining their natural allure and unique texture, we recommend not brushing them.
