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.

My toes have never experienced such lushness and decadence. The ivory is whitish with gold tones. Really beautiful. My dog loves it too so I have to share. This is the 3rd rug I’ve purchased. Want slippers now.
