These are sheepskin squares, leftover from the tanning process! Sometimes sheepskins are made into rugs and they have scraps left over, or a full sheepskin was damaged in the tanning process so they salvaged the square. These all vary in texture and thickness but are all cream-colored. Some of these have marks on the back from the tanning process or are sewn together if they received cuts during the process. All are amazing quality!
These fit perfectly on a desk chair or a seat in the car, and are also amazing for all the benefits of the sheepskin without the pricetag of a large one. You can place your baby on this, place it atop your pillow at night, travel with it to make a familiar spot for your kids, or use it as a portable seat! The possibilities are endless!
ABOUT
They are soft, they are cozy, AND they have some medicinal benefits. The fuzzy fiber that gives warmth and protection to sheep is actually healing and beneficial to humans as well. Sheepskins can vary in color depending on the breed of sheep. Sheepskin date back to the beginning of time, with clothes or bedding being fashioned from the skins. Sheepskins were once used to collect gold in riverbeds, prevent bedsores, warm hands and feet in winter, and used to wrap babies up to protect them from bitter winter winds. Many cultures have sheepskin as a normal part of their bedding and clothing. With an incredibly high signature frequency of 5,000 (compared to 100 for the human body), wool can work to uplift the body and not add extra stress that synthetic fibers can add to our bodies. When mixed with linen, which actually also has a signature frequency of 5,000, the two fibers can cancel each other out and collapse the energy field. Because of this, it’s best to pick one fiber or the other and try not to mix the two or wear both at the same time for the best benefits.
My babies LOVE “sheepskin naps.” It is a phrase I started to use a few years ago when my daughter was born. She would rest so deeply and peacefully when she napped on a sheepskin, and from that day onward we started traveling with a sheepskin so she could have a sheepskin nap everywhere we went. My son napped on a sheepskin every day that first year of his life! Sheepskins can also be used for patients staying in their bed for many hours at a time, and those that develop bedsores. Sheepskin helps relieve pressure from the pressure points and works to regulate the body’s temperature, making it a cozy and soft thing to lay on. When looking for a sheepskin, get your nose into the fibers and take a big whiff! The sheepskin should feel soft and fuzzy, not dry, and should have a slight sheep-y smell. This is a good sign that the lanolin is still intact! If you can ask, try to find out if the sheepskin has been bleached, which strips the fibers of lanolin and leaves the fur very white but very dry.
When cared for, a sheepskin can last decades and can be passed along to the generations after you. They are a beautiful heirloom gift. The skins go through a traditional tanning method referred to as "vegetable tanning." The skins are soaked in salt water, then treated with gentle vegetable-and-plant derived substances. They are free from chromium, formaldehyde, eulan, formalin, PCB, optical brighteners, plasticizers, etc. The lanolin is largely preserved in this method, leaving a good amount of medicinal benefits.
