Nat's prices these as with any sheepskin according to its quality. For example, a truly exceptional Gotland sheepskin, perhaps one like the Angus Oliver luxury sheepskins, might retail around $400. This price point reflects a particularly large, heavy, and absolutely gorgeous hide, distinguished by its incredibly silky locks of wool. Other Gotland sheepskin options are priced on a scale, reflecting variations in size, weight, and wool characteristics.
Gotland sheep, with a lineage stretching back to the Viking era, have undergone meticulous refinement over centuries. Today, they are widely regarded as producing some of the most desirable sheepskins globally. Originating from Sweden, these sheep predominantly live in open fields, where they are exposed to the cool breezes from the Baltic Sea. It's important to note that, like all our sheepskins, Gotland sheepskins are a sustainable byproduct of the meat industry.
These striking sheepskins are most often used as luxurious accents in the home, offering an exotic feel. Their textures can range from super silky soft to slightly more coarse, and the wool length varies from long to short. For instance, a substantial gotland sheepskin 52x31 would make a stunning statement piece.
Due to the inherently silky nature of the pelt, Gotland sheepskins might occasionally feature a few small mats in the wool. This is a natural characteristic, and embracing it is part of the unique charm of enjoying a genuine Gotland sheepskin. If you choose to brush these sheepskins, they will become very frizzy, though still exceptionally soft. For the best appearance, it's generally recommended not to brush them.
