Icelandic Sheepskin Rugs – Long Wool Luxury
Icelandic sheepskins are unlike any other. With their extra-long wool – usually 12–18 cm – they create a striking, fluffy look that instantly adds warmth and style to any space. Draped over a chair, placed on the floor, or used as a throw, they bring a sense of cosy Nordic charm into your home.
The Icelandic sheep is one of the world’s oldest and purest breeds. It was brought to Iceland by Viking settlers more than a thousand years ago and has thrived in the country’s harsh climate ever since. Their wool can appear in up to 17 natural colours, from pure white to rare spotted patterns. For centuries, these sheep provided warmth, clothing and survival for the Icelandic people during long, cold winters.
