Description
Little Bear is not so little anymore…..in fact she is a rather large! The wool has a medium length staple with a nice soft, spongey feel. It has a lovely crimped texture and is brown with lovely warm caramel tones. The felt backing is a very strong dark grey. This rug would work nicely on the back of a sofa or the floor. We made Little Bears fleece into a rug last year but that’s the joy of a Felted Sheepskins …. you get to make a new one each year from the same sheep! This fleece was turned into a Felted Sheepskin with love at our small farm in Devon.

‘Little Bear really isn’t that little anymore, she acquired her name as a lamb, at that point she really did look like a little bear cub. Well, as much as a lamb can look like a cub!
Today Bear, is a guard sheep, very alert, she particularly fond of chasing off ravens and crows that frequent the flock.
As for her breeding she’s very usual, she’s a cross between a Soay/Foula mum with a Shetland/Icelandic dad. This has resulted in Little Bear possessing pretty much ever shade of brown and grey in her fleece.’

Aftercare
If you really need to wash your Felted sheepskin you can pop it in the washing machine on a gentle wool cycle. Use a small amount of wool detergent. Alternatively you could soak it in a bath of warm water – then let it drip dry.
Stretch the rug out firmly when it is still damp. Let the fleece dry naturally in the sun – this may take a few days.
Each of our rugs are unique and need treating slightly differently – we will send you an individual care card with your rug.
