Sheep have been kept for about 10,000 years to produce lamb, sheep's milk and fur, making them probably the oldest livestock. The use of sheep's wool began about 3000 years ago. With millions of pelts produced each year, they are the most important domesticated fur suppliers.

Even the Neanderthals appreciated the advantages of sheepskins. After all, sheepskins keep you warm in winter and cool in summer thanks to their natural insulating properties. Accordingly, skins are characterized by a very high wearing comfort. They are also hard-wearing, breathable, dirt-repellent and easy-care. So if you buy skins, you will enjoy them for many years.

Sheepskins in natural colors are also very popular with fans of the Middle Ages. Medieval fur, i.e. natural sheepskin, is therefore often found at medieval festivals. A flickering campfire, tree trunks as a seat and cozy sheepskins on them create a cozy and rustic atmosphere.

The fur keeps you warm in winter cool in summer, creating a pleasant atmosphere. Sheepskin is breathable and suitable for allergy sufferers.

Sheepskin wool absorbs up to 30% moisture in the form of water vapor and does not feel damp or cold. This property ensures that dirt is repelled and a natural self-cleaning power is present.

Sheepskin is antibacterial and protects the surface of the skin.

According to a study of 3,000 children, those who slept on animal fur were said to be 80 percent less likely to develop asthma. The skins are likely to have been the sheepskins usually used almost exclusively for this purpose. These differences were still measurable at the age of ten, at this age it was 41 percent. Previous research has attributed this to previously unspecified microbes thought to be in the skins. The study was carried out by the Helmholtz Zentrum München of the non-profit organization European Respiratory Society.

Is sheepskin trendy?

Sheepskin is a low-maintenance product. In most cases it is enough to just locally clean or brush out the soiled area. If it is very dirty, the fur should only be hand washed (or, if you have a newer model of machine, choose the hand wash cycle, cold water).

• Detergent: Always use a wool detergent or a PH-neutral, non-intrusive shampoo.
• Pre-drying: at most spin gently, or better wrap in a few towels to pre-dry.
• Drying: Always air dry sheepskin, never tumble dry.

Our recommendation for caring for sheepskin:

Air it out regularly and it will clean itself. If you air them out on the balcony or terrace, please make sure that they are not exposed to direct sunlight. Dust can be easily beat out of the natural fur products. You can also clean long-haired skins with brushes. When vacuuming, you should choose the lowest level and vacuum in the direction of hair growth. You should avoid cleaning sheepskins with cleaning detergents, as they can strain the material. Nevertheless, it can happen that you want get your sheepskin dirty. To wash it, you should use special fur detergents and then rinse them thoroughly. Do not wring! If you are unsure of how to do it, it is better to hire a specialist to do the cleaning.
