Southdown sheep
Southdown sheep are a rare breed native to Sussex, known for their dense, soft fleeces, which are a naturally even creamy-white colour. You’ll notice the quality straight away in the thickness and weight of the fleece.
The maker
Our Southdown rug is made in Devon at Britain’s oldest tannery, which uses traditional techniques to preserve the fleece’s character. Its creamy colour is completely natural, unlike some sheepskins which are bleached white.
