Heirloom-Quality European Sheepskins
ETHICAL & LOW-WASTE
These sheep get roam roam hills and meadows, rather than in barns and stalls. The skins are rescued from the processing facility and utilized so that no part of the animal goes to waste at the end of its life, which also means that the sheep were not raised solely for the sheepskins. Sheepskins have been used for centuries and have been a way to honor the life of the animal while also providing shelter, bedding, and clothing for families. No sheep are harmed for their skins, rather the skins are used as a way to honor the full life cycle of the animal by processing an heirloom item that will last for decades to come. I chose European sheepskins because of the standard found in Europe. Sheep freely wander pastures and fields, and I wanted to be sure the wool was not sprayed or harmed in any way by harsh pesticides sprayed on nearby fields.
MEDICINAL
Lanolin is a waxy substance that is secreted by the sheep to coat the wool fibers. Lanolin has been shown to have anti-inflammatory benefits. With how these sheepskins are tanned, some of the lanolin is still in tact which produces a soothing scent. Wool itself has a high frequency, or measurement of energy, measured around 5,000 mHz. Higher frequencies help to alleviate stress on the body and can raise lower frequencies that come from sickness. Sheepskins have also been used in some NICU units for preemies to help regulate their body temperature. Many customers have reported deeper sleep, diminished back and body pain, and more when using our sheepskins! Our sheepskins are tanned using salt and vegetable-based oils and products.
