Some felted fleeces are happiest on the floor as a rug, while others are made for snuggling. This is definitely the latter! This piece features the crimpy, soft, and downright luscious locks of a classic merino, and would make the coziest throw.
Breed Note
Merino sheep originated on the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) during the High Middle Ages. They are now one of the most popular breeds for their exceptionally fine, soft wool.

What is felted fleece?
Animals like sheep, angora goats, and alpaca are shorn regularly as part of their ongoing care. Through a wet felting process, we use wool to create a durable backing while preserving the natural individuality of each fleece. These pieces, also called living rugs or vegetarian pelts are made entirely from fleece with no animal skin or hide. Learn more about our process here!
