Genuine "Rustic" British Sheepskin in Taupe

Here at Sheepland, we’re a small, family-run business nestled in the heart of Somerset, where we believe in keeping things simple, natural and beautifully made. Every piece we offer has been chosen with care, crafted with respect, and made to be loved for years to come.

That’s why we’re so pleased to share this beautiful Rustic British Sheepskin Rug with you. Unlike the glossy, combed sheepskins you might find elsewhere, this one has been tanned in the EU using traditional methods that preserve its natural texture—leaving the fleece delightfully shaggy, rustic, and full of natural curl. The result is a rug with real character: wonderfully soft underfoot, with a casual, undone beauty that brings warmth and texture to any space.

The colour is a soft, earthy taupe—think of driftwood, river stones, or faded heather—carefully created through small-batch dyeing to achieve these calm, natural tones. These shades are designed to complement a wide range of interiors, bringing a sense of quiet, grounding warmth to your home.

This dyed sheepskin is sourced from the UK and tanned within the EU to exacting standards. Unlike mass-produced sheepskins, these aren’t heavily processed for uniformity. Instead, the wool is left just as it wants to be: textured, a little wild, and utterly inviting.

Whether it’s laid in front of the fire, tucked over the back of a chair, or providing a soft landing beside your bed, this sheepskin brings a sense of relaxed, rural charm to any corner of your home. It’s a piece to enjoy slowly—comforting, tactile, and naturally beautiful.

This sheepskin is designed not to be brushed, otherwise you will lose this incredible texture, it just needs a good shake out every now and again to help it look fresh.

As always, we photograph each sheepskin in natural daylight to reflect its true tones, but do remember—like all things made by nature, the colours shift and change with the light in your home.
