For those of you who don’t know, sheepskin is a wonderful natural resource that has several great qualities. It is obviously warm and comfortable, but also breathable and water resistant; which means that sheepskin is great in the winter months, and surprisingly also in the summer.
Sheepskin will wick moisture away from your body because its fibers are hollow, so dry toes and fingers mean you are comfortable and warm!
Another appealing fact about sheepskin and a great reason to make it your material of choice is that it’s Biodegradable. Synthetic materials which are thrown away will accumulate in landfills for several years; however sheepskin is a natural material so it will decompose and become part of the soil just like when an animal dies in the wild.
Unlike most furs, sheep are raised for their food value, and not strictly for their hides. So that means the skins are a by-product of this process and they are recycled in their entirety.
We hope that you choose sheepskin to keep you warm and dry, but if you have any questions or would like additional information please contact us.
