No natural or man-made fiber possesses the virtues of
100% sheepskin. It is fur: leather skin on one side with wool fur on the other.
It is cool in summer and warm in the winter. Its fibers breathe
to act just like a natural thermostat for your body. These fibers are hollow,
and can absorb up to 30% of their own weight in moisture without feeling wet,
keeping you perfectly dry, regardless of the weather.
Ounce for ounce,
sheepskin is stronger than steel. Your sheepskin items will last for years, with
minimum care, by brushing and shaking them out or by vacuuming. Impossible to
copy synthetically, sheepskin and it's wool fibers offer an astounding list of
natural qualities.
* Sheepskin wool does not shed, because it's attached
to the skin. It's not woven and then brushed up, like wool pile fabric.
Sheepskin wool is embedded into the leather. * Naturally resists snags,
tears, wrinkles, soiling and pilling * Drapes beautifully; never sags and
retains shape. * Is water resistant, static-free, flame resistant, and wind
proof * Stays warm even when wet. * Is a natural moisturizer due to the
high content of lanolin in the wool. * Sheepskin is washable - can be hand or
gently machine-washed
Our sheepskin products come primarily from sheep
that were raised for their food value and not their hides. Sheepskin is a
recycled by-product and no endangered species skins are used in our products. |
