Multi Coloured Sheep Fleece Wool Cushion

I have made this cushion from 4 different fleece.  The cream front is Alpaca fleece, so dreamy soft, the dark locks of a Wensleydale fleece are brushed out on the front of the cushion, and left as tight locks, for the fringe around the outside. The stuffing is Texel fleece.

The cushion could be used to provide a soft warm natural textured support, or as an ornamental enhancement to your existing décor.

Alpaca

Alpaca’s fleece is softer and a different texture to sheep fleece, learn more about Alpaca from Alpaca Society.

Telex Sheep are very big, their fleece is either cream or tones of grey which are called Blue Texel.  Learn more about Texel sheep from the Texel Sheep Society.

Wensleydale sheep have gorgeous curly locks with a lustre shine to them.  The locks can vary in length and tightness of curl. Learn more about Wensleydale Sheep from the Wensleydale Sheep Society.

I only purchase my fleece from trusted owners.  I purchase my Wensleydale fleece from Mark Jones’ Cefn Llan Fibre Flock.

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.
