Shorn wool sheepskin rugs don’t carry the same “fashion-forward decorative” look as long wool rugs, but they offer something different — a cleaner, more structured, and uniform appearance.
At the same time, they still retain all the natural benefits of genuine sheepskin: comfort, warmth, and breathability.
What is a Shorn Wool Sheepskin Rug?
A shorn wool sheepskin rug is made from lambskins that have been trimmed after their first shearing.
The wool is cut short, typically between 12 mm – 30 mm.
We generally select a 25 mm wool length for rugs, as it provides excellent support, optimal density, and a clean, uniform look.
If you have specific requirements for wool length, we can also customize accordingly.
