Masham Fleece Rug – SOLD

£150.00

SOLD

This fleece is absolutely beautiful and very soft.

Felted sheep fleece rug / throw hand made, by myself, from the fleece of a Masham sheep. Suited to being either a throw or rug. A bit different, having beautiful long, crimpy locks. The locks are a cream colour and are white at the base. I purchased this fleece at the Rare Breed Societies spring fleece sale at Stoneleigh Park Warwickshire. I haven’t worked with Masham fleece before and it was a bit of a risk felting onto those long locks, but the result is stunning. Maybe my new favourite type of fleece to work with.

Size (approx average):
length: 130cm
width: 85cm

Description

These felted rugs are also know as “vegetarian sheep skin rugs”, this is because they look like a sheepskin rug, but they are made from a sheared fleece. This particular fleece is made from the 2019 spring clip from a Masham breed of sheep.

My handmade rugs are all 100% British Wool. I only use natural soap in the felting process.

This rug is made up of Masham fleece, with Shetland Wool backing and a mid layer of Jacob.

Not for use in heavy traffic areas, as this may damage the fleece.

Care Instructions
Shouldn’t really ever need washing, as wool repels dirt naturally, best to give a gentle shake and put out in the fresh air for a little while, if needed.

This wool rug can be carefully washed if absolutely necessary, with a wool wash product. Gentle hand wash only, do not wring. Be very careful lifting out of water and always support under the backing as lifting by the locks could rip the backing away. Wrap in a towel and squeeze gently to remove excess water, then dry flat away from direct heat.
