Living Sheep Fleece

Our beautiful fleece rugs are created when our pet sheep are sheared in the summer. Unlike a sheep Skin rug (which can only be made from a slaughtered sheep) ours are entirely free of cruelty and the sheep are still outside running around the fields here on  in Cornwall.

How is it made?

The process of stabilising the cut fleece into a lasting rug is a long and complex one which felts the cut end of the fibres to mat them together into a secure backing. Simple but effective: hot water, soap, extra wool and lots of elbow grease.
