Why are Real Sheepies so unbelievably soft and sensual? The thin diameter of each Merino wool fiber is ⅓ the width of a human hair. When a Sheepie comes in contact with any part of your body, the ultra fine fibers give a gentle caress and a buttery soft feel.
Unlike faux products, a Real Sheepie's genuine Merino wool fibers contain lanolin, which has similar properties to the oils in human skin. This makes them exceptionally pleasing to touch, even for individuals with sensitive skin.
Feel good knowing that every Real Sheepie is completely upcycled. The Merino sheepskins, that we source from the wool industry in Australia and New Zealand, would otherwise be burned or discarded in a landfill.
Did you know that faux sheepskin is actually non-biodegradable plastic?
It’s made from synthetic chemicals derived from coal and petroleum. Nasty. That’s not something you would ever want to put around your body and it could never deliver the soft, sensual, feel of a Real Sheepie.
