Experience the luxurious comfort of a curly Gotland - Felted Sheep Fleece Rug!

Hand made from the fine Gotland fleece, this rug is a testament to our commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly practices. The fleece is sourced from the Hollyhock Flock raised by Sue Cole on her farm in the New Forest, England. It was a pleasure to meet Sue and her flock this summer, hand pick the fleeces and then transform them into felted rugs using traditional felting techniques. I hand felt each piece, meticulously shaping and transforming the raw fleece into a unique rug that will make a stunning addition to your home. These rugs embody my passion for ethical craftsmanship and will transform your living space with a touch of natural elegance.

Our felted fleeces are a wonderful addition to your home and can be used as rugs, chair throws or as bench mats. They also look magnificent as a statement wall piece, showcasing the beauty of the soft white and grey curly locks.

What is a Sheep Fleece Rug and how is it different to a Sheepskin Rug?

Ethical | Sustainable | Environmental Friendly

Unlike sheep skin rugs, which come from deceased sheep's tanned hides, Sheep Fleece Rugs are crafted from soft wool fleece carefully sheared from the living sheep, ensuring a sustainable, animal friendly and compassionate choice. Our hand felted fleeces are naturally strong and warm, made with 100% felted sheep wool, a renewable resource with a low environmental impact. All our fleeces are sourced from UK flocks & carefully sheared from living sheep, meaning the sheep continues to enjoy life in the fields to grow a new fleece. Each fleece has its own unique characteristics & is as individual as the sheep it came from.

Felted Fleeces are a high quality, ethical choice for anyone looking for sustainable decor with a touch of luxury.

How do I care for my Felted Fleece - Rug, Seat pad or Cushions?

Felted fleeces are easy to maintain & clean as the wool naturally repels dirt. By caring for your hand felted fleece it will last for many years to come, giving you lasting joy and reducing its impact on the environment.

Regularly give the felted fleece a good shake outside and beat the felted back to remove loose dirt and dust. This will also help shake out the locks which may flatten after repeated walking or sitting on. Refrain from using a vacuum cleaner on your felted fleece product, as the locks are likely to become entangled.

When using your felted fleece as a rug or throw we recommend washing it on an annual basis to keep it in good condition. The rugs can be hand washed dried flat or on a washing line as you would your woolly jumpers.

Like any wool product please be aware that it is normal to expect some shedding of fibres initially. Wool and textile products need protecting from moths, we spray the fleece with cruelty free, biodegradable essential oils to protect and repel moths. We advise regular top ups to protect your rug, follow the Clothes Doctor link for more information.

All our Felted Fleeces are shipped with a washing and care instruction card.
Would you the option to display your fleece on a wall? If you would like to display your Felted fleece we can add a hanging system to your fleece back. These are two leather straps securely screwed into the fleece which you can use to thread a wooden bar through to attach to a wall. Click on 'Add hanging system' in the drop down menu and they will automatically be added at the check out.

Why use leather you might ask? I firmly believe that no part of the animal should be wasted, and sadly as all living creatures must die, it is vital we do not waste these valuable materials. Should you prefer a vegan leather alternative, please contact me and I will happily substitute the fittings for you.
