Large Coloured Leicester Sheep Fleece Rug / Throw

This rug / throw is so dreamy soft you can wrap yourself in it.

I made this coloured Leicester sheep fleece into a lovely rug with long curly locks.   Leicester sheep fleece have very long locks and are a very soft fleece with a shiny lustre. It has cream and grey locks in comparison to a standard Leicester sheep fleece which has only cream locks. This rug is so big and soft and light, I would use it as a throw over the back of my sofa, so when its a cool night I can snuggle under it.

Watch the video to see how plush and luxurious the fleece is.

Coloured Leicester Sheep

Coloured Leicester sheep fleece sheep have long locks, their staple length is long and their fleece has a lustre shine to them. It is a very soft fleece.  Learn more about Coloured Leicester sheep from the Leicester Sheep Association.

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.
