Ernie Grey Beige British Sheepskin Rug

£109.95

An enormous soft British sheepskin. This rustic looking rug is a beautiful combination of greys, browns, beige and cream. Soft to touch, the thick matted texture of the wool beneath the surface gives the rug a lovely thickness. You can't run your hands through this thick fleece. There is a slightly shorter haired patch in the centre of the rug - this is often where the rain has flattened down the middle of the rug (the top of the sheep's back) over the year. There is a very subtle bright pink 'smit' mark in the centre of the rug, which the farmers use to identify their sheep - usually this is washed out in the tanning process but more persistant dye can sometimes remain like in this case. 

The UK has more sheep breeds than any other country - over 60 and counting - and many more cross breeds. Glencroft British sheepskin rugs are 100% British and entirely by-products of the meat industry - that means they are from British sheep, tanned in a British tannery, and hand finished in our Yorkshire Dales warehouse.

Richard hand finishes 100-200 sheepskin rugs every week (watch how here), with most going to specialist independent retailers across the country. We randomly pick a few out for sale online, once they're gone they're gone! You will receive the EXACT rug in these photos.
