Description
Unveil a piece of history with these giant, rare sized Icelandic Sheepskin Hide Rugs. These are the original shaggy-haired carpets that long predate man-made alternatives. With their medium softness and very long wool, the Icelandic sheepskins were once the prized possessions of Vikings used as clothing and rugs.
Sheep raised in Iceland are direct descendants of the sheep that were brought when Vikings settled the island over a thousand years ago. They are one of the oldest and purest breeds in the world.

Sheepskin Thickness and Density
Each sheepskin rug is ONE OF A KIND and is unique since these pieces are not factory created. No two will ever be exactly alike. We have come up with our own method for you to determine the thickness and density of each sheepskin rug so you can compare. We take each sheepskin pelt and fold it in half, then ball it in three folds and place it on a chair. Here you can see and compare sheepskins of similar length to how they match up.

Sheepskin Coloring
Depending on the lighting and colors in your home, the sheepskin may have different color tones more prominent than others seen on our website.
Natural sheepskins can have a mixture of tones such as cream, white, gray, tan, black and brown. It’s possible that a natural sheepskin can display all the colors in a single hide or show a combination of some of those colors. No two natural sheepskins will be alike.
A natural white sheepskin will NEVER be solid white. Natural white sheepskins can vary from a cream, ivory and often with lanolin which makes the sheep’s wool appear slightly yellow or beige. When placed near other warm tones, people rarely notice the color of lanolin.
A natural brown sheepskin can display a variety of shades from very light brown, golden brown, reddish brown to a dark chocolate brown. Sometimes a brown sheepskin can have all of those colors present in a single hide.
Natural gray sheepskins are stunning, rare and present with a variety of colors. Browns, blacks, creams, lanolin (beige) & different degrees of gray can be present.
