Our Top 7 Ways to Style Your Sheepskin

For those people that live in places with colder climates, sheepskin is an ideal material for them for the warmth it provides as well as the protection it gives against elements. This material comes from the hide of a sheep which is sometimes but not often referred to as lambskin. For centuries this reliable material has been used for practical purposes. The Greeks, Vikings and Romans were the earliest ancient cultures that used it.

Sheeps are among the first few animals that were first domesticated by mankind. These animals are not farmed for the fleeces they can provide but rather for their meat so a great amount of sheepskin get wasted in the process, leaving only a very little percentage to use, about 1%. The entire hide of the animal is made into sheepskins. The wool or pelt that is still attached to the skin goes through a process called tanning. Afterwhich, pelts are sewn together to form a rug.

Sheepskin rugs have many uses especially in home decor trends.
