A Shetland Fleece Peg Rug Seat Pad

This lovely soft rug is made on a traditional peg loom from a washed Shetland fleece. The rug has soft honey brown, fawn and cream shades. You could use the pad on a hard chair, sofa /settee or car seat, to provide a soft warm natural texture.  This seat pad is very thick and plush.

Shetland Sheep

Shetland sheep have fleece that vary in colour and length of staple.  The colours vary from shades of grey to warm browns and creams. The fleece locks vary in length from a few 6cm up to 15cm and can be a thick plush texture.  Learn more about Shetland Sheep from the Shetland 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.
