Product Details

Icelandic sheepskin is the real thing — a single natural sheep hide, here sheared to a dense, even short pile — a true shorn shearling — for a cleaner, more contemporary look than the long fleece. The shorn surface is easier to sit on or walk across while keeping all the softness and durability Icelandic wool is known for. Use it as a seat cover, bench pad, chair throw, or floor accent. Every skin is a whole natural hide with the irregular edge of genuine sheepskin.

  • Genuine Icelandic sheepskin, shorn to a short, even pile
  • Whole natural single skin, roughly 95–110 cm long (about 2' × 3')
  • Dense, plush short wool — clean and modern
  • Natural White and Ivory plus five dyed colors
  • Suede-backed — use as a seat cover, throw, rug, or accent
  • Genuine shearling — real wool-on sheepskin, not faux fur

Ordering

Sold as a single whole skin. Orders over $250 ship free within the US; smaller orders show a flat shipping rate at checkout. Sizes fall within the stated range but no two natural skins are identical, and dyed colors carry natural variation in tone and pile — that's the nature of real sheepskin, not a flaw. Natural-hide items are final sale. Need a hand matching a color or sizing a project? Call 336-887-3101.

Care & Cleaning
Routine care: shake the skin out to lift and separate the wool. Brush with a wire wool comb or a pet slicker brush to keep the pile open and lofty — long-wool skins benefit from this more than short. Spills: blot immediately with a clean dry cloth, then spot-clean with a little mild soap (a wool-safe detergent is ideal) in cool water. Work on the wool only and keep the suede backing as dry as you can. Let it air dry flat, away from heat, then brush the pile back up once dry. Never: machine wash, tumble dry, wring, or use hot water, bleach or solvents. Heat and agitation are what felt the wool and shrink the hide. Keep away from direct heat and out of prolonged direct sun, which will dry the backing and fade dyed colors. Air it outdoors in the shade every so often — wool naturally sheds odor and refreshes. For anything beyond a small spot, use a cleaner experienced with genuine shearling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this real sheepskin?

Yes — genuine wool-on shearling, a real hide with the wool still attached to it, suede-backed. Not faux fur, and not wool sewn onto a fabric base.

How big is one skin?

A whole natural single skin, roughly 95 to 110 cm long — about 2 ft by 3 ft. It keeps the irregular edge of a genuine sheepskin rather than being trimmed to a rectangle.

What is the difference between the long-hair and the shorn?

Same Icelandic skin, different finish. The long-hair keeps the full fleece for a dramatic, plush look. The shorn is sheared to a dense, even short pile — cleaner and more contemporary, and easier to sit on or walk across. This is the shorn, in Natural White and Ivory plus five dyed colors.

Can I wash it?

Not in a machine. Heat and agitation felt the wool and shrink the hide, and that is permanent. Shake it out, brush the pile with a wire wool comb or a pet slicker brush, and spot-clean with a wool-safe soap in cool water, keeping the suede backing as dry as you can. Air dry flat away from heat, then brush the pile back up.

Do the colors vary?

Yes. These are natural hides taking dye, so tone and pile vary from skin to skin — that is real sheepskin behaving normally, not a defect. If you need two that match closely for a pair of chairs, call us and we will pull them together.

Can I return it?

Natural-hide items are final sale. Call us before you order if you are unsure about color or size — 336-887-3101 — and we will talk it through.
