This dyed black rug uses two whole sheepskins that are sewn together to form a longer rug. Made from expertly matched high quality New Zealand sheepskins.

Naturally long-wool sheepskin rugs are soft and fluffy. Wool pile height is a minimum of 5cm (2”).

This black double sheepskin rug measures an average dimension of 60cm x 180cm. A double ended sheepskin rug. These extra long sheepskin rugs are particularly good in armchairs or across the seat of a sofa in the winter.

Protect this dyed colour from direct or bright reflected UV sunlight or fading may occur.

Sheepskins are perfect for a bedroom down the side of the bed. Imagine stepping out of bed onto these soft warm wool rugs. And sheepskin rugs can also be used in a hallway or in front of a fireplace to great effect.

Although these dyed black wool rugs are predominantly used on the floor as luxurious floor coverings, they can also be used as a sofa throw, on beds, or draped over any type of chair.

Your carefully selected sheepskin may have been tightly packaged for the journey home and so the wool may appear flattened. Wool fibres are very resilient and will bounce back to their original springy appearance.

A vigorous shake will help restore the soft, fluffy appearance of the wool. Any fold marks from packaging will disappear once the skin has been removed from the package for several days.

We recommend that you dry-clean a dyed sheepskin rug to preserve the dye colour. Colours may run or change if you wash a sheepskin.

Brushing
After washing, the wool may revert back to its natural curly state. You can help restore the fluffy appearance by brushing the wool while it is wet and again when it is dry. A fine wire brush or sheepskin carding brush.
