The different types of long-haired sheepskins
Did you know that there are more than 900 different breeds of sheep? Each breed of sheep has its own unique characteristics and features. In the Netherlands we see few or no sheep with a long coat walking around because this coat keeps the sheep nice and warm in the colder environments.
The long-haired sheepskins add a unique atmospheric element to your interior. In our collection you will find among others longhaired sheepskins from Icelandic and Greenlandic sheep. The Icelander sheepskin is known for its long, steep wool which offers an elegant and rustic look. Do you prefer an even more playful effect? Then you can also go for a Greenland sheepskin fleece, with their long, curly wool these fleeces bring a luxurious and warm atmosphere to any room resulting in a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
Whether you are a fan of the elegant Icelandic fleeces or go for the slightly more playful Greenland sheepskins, both types of sheepskins bring you an unparalleled sense of warmth and comfort and make your house a warm home.
How can you use a long-haired sheepskin in your interiors?
If you want a sheepskin purely for decoration, these long haired sheepskins are very suitable for that. With this type of sheepskin you choose something more unique than the traditional (Dutch) sheepskins. Some ways to use them are:
1. As warm atmospheres in your interior
The long hairs make these sheepskins true eye-catchers in your interior. For example, lay a beautiful Icelandic or Greenlandic fleece on your floor in your living room, bedroom or sitting room. What is also nice is to put the sheepskin over a piece of furniture or on that one big table for a playful and elegant look.
2. Use them as cozy additions on your sofa and chairs
The long hairs give these sheepskins a playful draping effect on your favorite chair and sofa. Although they have less thick wool compared to traditional Dutch furs, they are still wonderfully soft making them a comfortable addition to sit on.
3. Use them as a lovely warm liner for warm feet
Always start and end your days with wonderfully warm feet. Put long-haired sheepskin next to your bed so you never have to step on a cold floor when you just woke up or just want to get into your bed.
4. For wonderfully warmer feet during colder nights
Besides a sheepskin next to your bed, you can also put a warm long-haired sheepskin on the foot of your bed to better retain warmth during the colder nights. Not only do they bring warmth to your bedroom but they also have a soothing look.
The great thing about the long-haired sheepskins is that they can be used so extensively as far as your own creativity goes. Whether it is to enrich your interior or comfort in your daily life, with the long-haired sheepskins you can provide both.
