This particular Gotland sheepskin is exceptionally large, incredibly soft, and wonderfully plump. Nat has personally brushed it, highlighting its luxurious feel.
It's quite normal to find small, natural mats, sometimes called dreadlocks, in Gotland sheepskins. This is a common characteristic due to their exceptionally fine and silky wool.
Our sheepskins are carefully priced on a scale that reflects individual variations in size, unique texture, and overall aesthetic appeal, ensuring you find the perfect match for your home.
Gotland sheep, with a lineage that proudly stretches back to the formidable Viking era, have undergone centuries of meticulous refinement. This careful breeding has led to what many now consider the most desirable sheepskins in the world. Originally from Sweden, these robust sheep spend most of their lives roaming open fields, where they are constantly brushed by the cool winds blowing in from the Baltic Sea. Like all our other 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 cherished as luxurious pieces for the home, adding an exotic feel and unique texture to any space. Imagine a magnificent gotland sheepskin 52x31 draped over a sofa, instantly elevating the room's ambiance. The wool's feel can range from sumptuously silky soft to more subtly coarse, and the length can vary from long and flowing to beautifully short. Each Angus Oliver luxury sheepskin offers a distinct sensory experience, designed to bring comfort and style to your living environment.
It's worth noting that these exquisite Gotland sheepskins might occasionally have a few natural mats in the wool. This is a common characteristic; 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, truly highlighting their authenticity.
If you decide to brush these Gotland sheepskins, they will indeed become very frizzy, though incredibly soft to the touch. For maintaining their natural allure and distinctive character, they are best left unbrushed.
