Most of the online stores offer a wide range of sheep skin rugs of different colours and designs. For centuries people were using sheep skin rugs to decorate their dwellings, whether it was a cave or a castle. A sheep skin rug is fur with leather on one side and soft wool on the other. Sheep skin rugs will make you feel warm in winter and cool in summer time, because they "breathe". Moreover, sheep skin rugs are easy to take care of. They can last for years with just brushing and shaking or vacuuming them. So how do they make these wonderful sheep skin rugs? Raw sheep skins are salted and sent to the tannery place. Here they first get sorted for size and quality to see what they will be suitable for. Then they are washed for several times. The next steps are tanning and degreasing to make a skin soft and get rid of unwanted fat and odour. Then the skins are dyed and dryed; Buffed on the skin side to make them soft, brushed and ironed on the wool side. Now they are ready to be cut for further producing of sheep skin rugs. | ||
