Icelandic Sheepskin Rug with Natural Veg Tan Leather – Auburn with Long Wavy Locks

Bring home a piece of the farm with this genuine auburn Icelandic sheepskin rug. The wool blends warm reddish-brown tones with deeper brown underneath, and the wavy locks fall in a loose, natural pattern. Nothing about it feels overly uniform, giving it a more relaxed look.

Notice how the color shifts across the piece: some areas lean more copper, others deeper brown. The length of the wool gives it a relaxed drape, which works especially well over a cozy chair or bench, or placed along the side of a bed where you want something soft underfoot.

BEST USES:

• Drape over a chair or rocker
• Layer on a bench or entry seat
• Style in a bedroom or reading nook
• Accent a cabin, guest room, or cozy corner
• great to lay on for yourself or your little ones
• Give as a meaningful farm-raised gift

The backing is natural veg tan leather, so it keeps that untreated, suede-like feel. Manufacturers process this type of leather without heavy chemicals, allowing it to retain more of its natural texture and character over time. Telderer’s Rainbows End Farm in Wisconsin raised this sheepskin, where the farmers pasture-raise the animals and care for them with respect.

Because this is a real Icelandic sheepskin, there’s variation throughout. The edges aren’t perfectly even, and the wool doesn’t fall the same way across the entire piece. That’s part of what makes each piece feel personal. The sheepskin you see here is the exact one you’ll receive, with all its natural character intact.

FAQ SECTION:

Is this the exact sheepskin I will receive?
Yes. The photos show the exact auburn Icelandic sheepskin rug you’ll receive. Each piece is one of a kind, so the color, shape, and texture you see here are specific to this hide.

Is this a real Icelandic sheepskin?
Absolutely!  This sheepskin comes from Icelandic sheep raised at Telderer’s Rainbows End Farm in Wisconsin. The long, wavy wool is a natural characteristic of the breed and part of what gives it that soft, textured look and depth you won’t find in synthetic or mass-produced alternatives.

What makes Icelandic sheepskin special?
People know Icelandic sheepskin for its dual-coated wool. The longer outer fibers create movement and texture, while the shorter undercoat adds warmth and density. That combination gives it a feel that’s both soft and durable.

Can you wash Icelandic sheepskin?
For a sheepskin with a natural veg tan leather backing, you should use water sparingly, since excess moisture can affect both the wool and the leather. In most cases, spot cleaning and brushing are the safest way to maintain it. If needed, you can gently hand wash it in cool water with a wool-safe shampoo, then press it dry with towels and air dry it away from heat before lightly brushing it to restore the texture.
