Gotland Sheep Fleece Rug / Throw

I made this Gotland Fleece into a lovely rug, but it is so dreamy soft I would use it as a throw.  If it is kept on the back of your sofa / settee you can snuggle it around you on cooler evenings.  It is so clean and soft, with such an array of grey tones.  Because it is neutral colours it would go with any colour decor. I make my rugs / throws so they look like would have on the sheep, this fleece is so big it will just curl around you.

Gotland Sheep

I love the softness of Gotland sheep, I have made a few Gotland rugs, they are so soft and curly.  I find it hard to buy them as people usually keep and use their own Gotland fleece. Gotland fleece come in a wide array of grey tones, some darker than others, this fleece throw comes in mid to lighter grey tones.  Learn more about Gotland sheep from the British Gotland Sheep Society.

Fleece

The sheep must be shorn every summer to keep the sheep cool and help prevent blow fly strike.  I buy quality fleece from pet sheep owners and use a process called wet felting to felt a backing. As a result it is similar to a sheepskin rug, but far better for the sheep!

Because the sheep live outside all year round, the item could contain tiny pieces of grass, it is impossible to get every tiny piece out.  It might initially shed a small amount of fleece.
