Caring for Sheepskin

Sheepskin is a natural material with self-cleaning properties. However, it may need a more thorough clean from time to time.

Most longwool sheepskins can be washed using the wool cycle and a wool-specific detergent.
Important: Always check the care label before washing.

After washing, the fleece may feel a bit stiff. While it’s still damp, gently stretch the sheepskin in all directions to restore softness. Warning: Never tumble dry sheepskin!

Since sheepskin is a natural product, it's ideal to air it out outdoors, especially in cold weather.
A traditional method is to place the fleece outdoors in clean snow, wool side down.

Note: Sheepskins from Spælsau sheep should be professionally cleaned.
