Description
Transform your living space with this stunning sexto Icelandic sheepskin—a versatile, one-of-a-kind piece that serves beautifully as either a luxurious sofa slipcover or an elegant area rug.
Crafted from four organically raised Icelandic sheepskins, this exceptional piece showcases the natural beauty of undyed gray wool in its purest form. The natural coloring creates a sophisticated palette where shades of charcoal, black and silver tones blend organically—ensuring no two pieces are ever alike.
Why Icelandic Sheepskin?
Icelandic sheep produce a distinctive short, dense wool that’s naturally insulating yet breathable. The compact fiber structure makes these skins ideal for high-traffic areas while maintaining incredible softness underfoot or against skin.
Dual-Purpose Design:
- As a Sofa Slipcover: Drapes beautifully over sofas and chairs, providing natural temperature regulation, stain resistance, and an instant style upgrade.
- As an Area Rug: Creates a cozy focal point in bedrooms, living rooms, or reading nooks with its plush, inviting texture
Eco-Conscious Excellence:
Every sheepskin is eco-tanned using traditional European plant-based methods that exceed U.S. safety standards. Our biodegradable tanning process uses tannin-rich botanical extracts and bio-based lactic acid—never chromium or heavy metals. Each pelt meets strict European environmental regulations while maintaining exceptional quality and durability.
What Makes This Special:
- 100% natural, undyed gray Icelandic wool
- Organically raised sheep
- Short wool length (ideal for easy maintenance)
- Six natural pelts joined and cut into a rectangle shape
- Naturally hypoallergenic and antimicrobial
- One-of-a-kind coloring and character
- Receive the exact quad pictured in all the photos
Care: Shake out regularly; spot clean with cold water and mild wool cleaner.
Each sexto sheepskin is a unique work of nature—no factory production, just authentic Icelandic heritage and sustainable craftsmanship.

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.
