Entirely undyed and shaped by nature alone, this one-of-a-kind sheepskin features beautifully curly Icelandic wool with a distinctive blend of silver, charcoal, and soft gray tones that cannot be replicated.

The result is a richly tactile sheepskin rug with exceptional depth, movement, and character — perfect for interiors that call for something truly unique. At Noryageur, we specialize in curating one of America’s largest collections of rare, large, and naturally beautiful Icelandic sheepskins. Every rug is individually selected for its wool quality, size, coloration, and visual impact. This rare gray curly wool sheepskin belongs to our Unrepeatable Collection, where each piece is entirely one of a kind.
Why Choose a Curly Wool Icelandic Sheepskin Rug?

Curly wool Icelandic sheepskins are especially distinctive, offering a plush, sculptural look that works beautifully as a floor rug, sofa throw, chair cover, bench accent, or decorative layer.

Sizing & Thickness
Sheepskin Thickness and Density
Each sheepskin is genuinely unique—these are natural hides, not factory-made products, so no two are ever alike. We know thickness and density matter when choosing a sheepskin, which is why we created our own comparison method. We fold each pelt in half, then gather it into three folds and place it on a chair for photos. This lets you visually compare the bulk and density of similarly-sized sheepskins before you buy—a level of transparency no other sheepskin retailer offers.

Sheepskin rugs & Sizing
Sheepskin measurements are approximate, as each hide is measured individually by hand. We follow the industry-standard method of measuring diagonally across the entire wool surface at its widest and longest points. In 2025, we began taking photos of each hide’s backside instead of the wool face, so you can see the actual skin size and get a better sense of the wool length.
Typical Hide Edges
Please note, all skins will have shorter wool around the edges since sheep do not have long hair on their bellies. Some longer wool sheepskin will hide the sides better than others but it will almost always be present.

Color Info
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 black sheepskin can be anywhere from very black, a deep brown black with reddish highlights due to sun exposure and sometimes have gray hairs.
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.

Eco-Tanned Sheepskins
Eco-Tanning
Our pelts are expertly tanned using time-honored plant-based agents perfected over generations in Europe, ensuring a superior product. Each sheepskin adheres to stringent European regulations, guaranteeing that all tanning agents are biodegradable and environmentally friendly—standards that surpass U.S. safety regulations. The hides undergo a meticulous process: washed in tannin-rich water and fortified with bio-based lactic acid to preserve the wool, followed by stabilization of the leather’s collagen with vegetable extract-based tannins.
Our skins are never tanned using chromium or heavy metals at any stage of production. Our medical-grade sheepskins go through a unique plant-based tanning process known as Relugan, reflecting our dedication to eco-friendly practices without compromising on quality.
