Portland Sheepskins

Portland sheepskins are an uncommon British rare breed known for their exceptionally soft, fine-textured wool, with a naturally short staple length averaging approximately 2″. Sourced from UK flocks, each hide features its own individual coloration, usually a natural blend of cream and tan. The hides are also notable for their attractive natural shape, reflecting the skilled preparation and tanning traditions of the region.

Looking for the softest sheepskin? If you’re sensitive to wool that feels coarse or scratchy, the Portland breed deserves serious consideration. Its exceptionally fine, short wool feels remarkably smooth against the skin, without the prickly feel many people associate with wool.
