Each of these Shetland sheepskins is from sheep raised here on Shaltz Farm. The animals were culled because they weren't up to our standard for quality as sheep, but the pelts are beautiful. Each is fully washable in a washing machine, and can be machine dried on low. Full washing instructions are below. It's recommended you put a towel in the dryer with the sheepskin as it dries. The approximate size and length of wool is listed with each skin, along with the price (excludes shipping or postage). Availability varies. If you don't see what you're looking for, contact us with what you'd like to buy, and we'll see what we can do for you.

Some suggested uses for these beautiful sheepskins:

• Wool is naturally resistant to fire, so protect the floor in front of your fireplace with a warm and wooly sheepskin.
• A skin with short wool is very nice for babies. Place your baby directly on it, or put the skin under a sheet or blanket. Be sure to not lay your baby face down, though, on any soft surface.
• The best way to keep cold feet warm in bed in the winter time is to place a sheepskin between the sheets at the foot of the bed. No more hot water bottles needed! Particularly nice for people with circulation problems.
• Of course the essence of luxury is to place your cold feet on a sheepskin when you get out of bed in the winter.
• Sheepskins are sometimes recomended by doctors to help people who are bedridden or use wheelchairs to help protect against bedsores and other problems.
• Loom benches are hard and wooden. Put a sheepskin on your bench to pamper yourself while weaving. Works on spinning chairs, too.
• Got leather upholstery in your car? Protect your skin from too-hot seats with a breathable sheepskin. Most cars need one for the seat and another for the back. A short-fibered skin might be good in baby's carseat as well, making sure all the buckles are still securely and safely fastened.
• Don't overlook that, as wool protects against extremes of cold, it also protects against extremes of heat. For example, any type of seat that doesn't breath, like plastic deck chairs, can be made more comfortable with a sheepskin.
• You can even cut your sheepskin into pieces to make hats, moccasins, mittens, or other warm and wooly accessories. Or cut it into strips to cover your car seatbelt where it rubs on your neck--glue it into a tube after it's positioned on the belt (but don't glue to the belt itself).
