ABOUT
They measure approximately 40" long and 23" wide. The size varies and they might be a couple of inches smaller or larger. The fur ranges from 2" thick to 3" thick. Each sheepskin will vary in their shade of cream, ranging from a darker cream to a lighter one. This is a good sign as the sheepskins are not bleached!
They are soft, they are cozy, AND they have some medicinal benefits. The fuzzy fiber that gives warmth and protection to sheep is actually healing and beneficial to humans as well. Sheepskins are typically 3-4 feet long and can vary in color depending on the breed of sheep.
Sheepskin date back to the beginning of time, with clothes or bedding being fashioned from the skins. Sheepskins were once used to collect gold in riverbeds, prevent bedsores, warm hands and feet in winter, and used to wrap babies up to protect them from bitter winter winds. Many cultures have sheepskin as a normal part of their bedding and clothing. With an incredibly high signature frequency of 5,000 (compared to 100 for the human body), wool can work to uplift the body and not add extra stress that synthetic fibers can add to our bodies. When mixed with linen, which actually also has a signature frequency of 5,000, the two fibers can cancel each other out and collapse the energy field. Because of this, it’s best to pick one fiber or the other and try not to mix the two or wear both at the same time for the best benefits.
My babies LOVE “sheepskin naps.” It is a phrase I started to use a few years ago when my daughter was born. She would rest so deeply and peacefully when she napped on a sheepskin, and from that day onward we started traveling with a sheepskin so she could have a sheepskin nap everywhere we went. My son has napped on a sheepskin every day of his life! Sheepskins can also be used for patients staying in their bed for many hours at a time, and those that develop bedsores. Sheepskin helps relieve pressure from the pressure points and works to regulate the body’s temperature, making it a cozy and soft thing to lay on. When looking for a sheepskin, get your nose into the fibers and take a big whiff! The sheepskin should feel soft and fuzzy, not dry, and should have a slight sheep-y smell. This is a good sign that the lanolin is still intact! If you can ask, try to find out if the sheepskin has been bleached, which strips the fibers of lanolin and leaves the fur very white but very dry.
When cared for, a sheepskin can last decades and can be passed along to the generations after you. They are a beautiful heirloom gift. These come from germany, and the skins go through a traditional tanning method referred to as "vegetable tanning." The skins are soaked in salt water, then treated with gentle vegetable-and-plant derived substances. They are free from chromium, formaldehyde, eulan, formalin, PCB, optical brighteners, plasticizers, etc. The lanolin is largely preserved in this method, leaving a good amount of medicinal benefits.
