When asking what the best sheepskin rug there is to buy, this is a very subjective question and based on opinion. The question people should ask is what’s the best sheepskin rug for my intended purpose? Not only will the intended purpose of your future sheepskin rug help you decide, but also the specific qualities and preferences you have. Each sheepskin pelt rug is 100% unique and natural, each sheepskin throw rug also has unique characteristics.
Color is the number one thing first searched for when looking for a sheepskin rug, but more important is also the softness of the wool, the wool’s density, how little or much it sheds, as well as the length of the sheep’s wool. Other things that differ in each sheepskin rug are the suppleness of the hide and if it has a tendency to fold more like a blanket than lie flat like a true carpet or floor rug.
