Product Description

Ecowool Sheepskin Yoga and Meditation Rugs are tanned using environmentally friendly methods. The use of Sheepskin is especially popular for the meditative style of Kundalini Yoga, one of the fastest growing yoga practices in the world.

For meditation and yoga practices that require sitting or holding poses for long periods of time, Sheepskin is both a spiritual and practical choice. The natural springy fibres assist to eliminate pressure points, providing cushioning comfort to the lower back and ankles for a more relaxing experience.

Please Note: This is a natural product, while great care is taken to match colour and texture there are natural shade variations across the rug. Please contact us for further guidance.

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.

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.

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.
