Ecowool Rugs
Ecowool sheepskin rugs are environmentally-friendly and made exclusively from New Zealand sheepskins. They’re manufactured 100% in New Zealand and unlike some sheepskins, they’re not tanned using harsh chemicals like arsenic and formaldehyde and we can assure every stage of their supply and production.
- The sheepskins are expertly trimmed, machine washed and left to dry in the sun.
- The tanned fleece is then combed over and over by hand to enhance the natural lustre of the sheep’s wool.
- The finished rug takes over 25 stages, expertly carried out by skilled hands.
- Ecowool sheepskin rugs are super-soft, natural and warm creamy white.
- Also available in a range of great colours, and can be custom made to any dimensions.
- Easy care and long lasting, our best-selling rugs year after year.
Ecowool Baby Rugs:

- Nursery rugs are completely free from vegetable or other foreign material. Fibre loss must be minimal. Mean staple length of sheepskin to be between 1″ and 3″. Mean fibre diameter to be no more than 30 microns. Must be unbleached or a pastel shade. Must be effectively sterilised.
Eco-Certificates – All Ecowool sheepskin rugs come with their own Eco-Certificate, confirming their ethical, safety and environmental credentials. *(Refer image of Eco-certificate for details)
Sheepskin Care and Storage
Sheepskin is incredibly easy to care for, it has an inherent natural ability to repel dirt and liquid.
A regular vacuum using the standard nozzle (only) or shaking the rug is generally all that is required to keep your sheepskin clean.
Your product may have been tightly packaged for shipping and so the wool may appear flattened. Wool fibers are very resilient and will bounce back to their original soft, fluffy appearance with a vigorous shake. Lay the skin flat and any fold marks will disappear naturally after a few days.
In the event further cleaning is required then please follow these specific guidelines
Spot Cleaning
– For small soiled areas, moisten a soft cloth with luke warm water
– Clean affected area using gentle circular motions, DO NOT rub
– If cleaning agent required, use mild wool detergent, non alkaline, enzyme and bleach free e.g. Ecostore Wool Wash
– Remove excess moisture with dry cloth
– Allow to dry and gently brush with Carding brush
Baby Cocoon Care: Shake or regular vacuum will keep baby’s cocoon clean. Any small spills can be easily spot cleaned, if further washing required we recommend Dryclean only.
Hand Wash
– Complete immersion into cold or lukewarm water ( max 38c/100F) DO NOT use hot
– Use a small amount of mild wool detergent, non alkaline, enzyme and bleach free
– Rinse thoroughly in cold or lukewarm water.
– Hand squeeze or gently spin by machine to remove excess water
– Follow Drying instructions.
Machine Wash
– Machine wash on gentle cycle in lukewarm water (up to 38C/100F) DO NOT use hot
– If you are unsure of the temperature of your washing machine, then only use cold water.
– Use a small amount of a mild wool detergent, non alkaline, enzyme and bleach free
– DO NOT use fabric softener.
– Hand squeeze or gently spin by machine to remove excess water.
– Follow Drying instructions.
Drying
NOTE : Excessive heat will cause hardening of leather and can cause product shrinkage.
– Products should be line or flat dried only.
– Dry away from direct sunlight and direct heat such as heaters, radiators or fires.
– DO NOT tumble dry
– DO NOT iron
– Product should be pulled back into original size and shape while damp prior to drying
– Brush gently with Carding brush while damp and again once completely dry, to encourage original fluffy appearance.
– Due to a special tanning process, Medical Rugs, Baby Rugs and Stroller Fleece can be tumble dried -use cool or warm setting only. (*Do not tumble dry Baby Cocoon)
Drycleaning
– Products can be drycleaned using a professional drycleaning service.
– We recommend that coloured sheepskin products and Car Seat covers are Drycleaned only.
Storage
If you wish to store your sheepskin, place in a cool, airy place away from direct sunlight. We do not recommend storing in plastic bags for an extended period of time as the fibres will not breathe and condensation may occur in warm conditions.
Whilst we endeavor to provide helpful information, washing and drying of sheepskin products is done at your risk and we cannot be held responsible for unforeseen damage that may occur.

I’m based in the US and ordered with Ecowool because I wanted an ethically-produced sheepskin rug. It’s now arrived, and the quality is excellent! The customer service team was very helpful in assisting with tracking the package as it made the shift from NZ carrier to US mail.

I bought a short wool sheepskin for our upcoming baby and I love it! I’m sure the baby will enjoy both asleep and awake time on this rug. My 2.5 year old won’t leave it alone, as she always wants to ‘pet’ it. I had wanted to buy her one when she was an infant but never got the chance-so, I just ordered another for her! The first one came quite fast, considering how far it had to travel to the USA. I would recommend to everyone!

I ordered three of these ecowool sheepskin baby rugs as gifts.
I certainly was not disappointed. The quality of this rug is outstanding both in texture, color and how the sheep skin is treated without the harsh chemicals usually used in this process.
I just ordered four more!
Thank you.

My son received this in UK this week and was absolutely delighted. The skin fits perfectly in the bassinet and in the pram and he knows how long such a sheepskin will be used-probably still in 30 years when he’s a grandad and arthritis sets in! Thank-you for prompt packing and sending overseas. It arrived quickly, beating the postal delays. Much appreciated.

We have had our rug for over two years now, my little dude sleeps on it every Night-and absolutely adores it! After many hot sweaty nights in AUS I found this has helped him sleep so much better. Looking forward to purchasing another for his sister who is due in August!

I can’t believe how fast this arrived. We have had it for several months now and my baby boy loves it! Every night he is so happy to go into his nice soft bed (it lays underneath the sheet – and he is a tummy sleeper). It is so easy to clean which is just a bonus (I leave it out in the sun every couple of days and it gets a spot clean every other week) with Eco Wool cleaner! Beautiful quality. Couldn’t be happier with this purchase, looking forward to purchasing one for a friends new addition!!!
