Our customers have absolutely fallen in love with our Herdwick sheepskins, so we’ve been quietly expanding the collection with a few more of these wonderfully characterful fleeces. Alongside our exceptionally rare 100% British Herdwicks, bred, grazed and tanned entirely within the UK, we’ve also managed to secure a very limited number of British Herdwick sheepskins finished in a small EU tannery. Both share the same unmistakable beauty of the Herdwick breed, with beautifully tactile fleeces and wonderfully natural colouring.
Herdwick sheepskins in these larger sizes are becoming incredibly difficult to source, particularly with this much character and texture. We were only able to secure a very small batch and, truthfully, once these have found homes, we simply cannot guarantee when, or if, we’ll come across another collection quite like them again.
99% of Herdwick sheep are kept amongst the central and western fells of the Lake District, where they’ve adapted to one of the harshest landscapes in Britain. With relentless rain, rugged hillsides and wild winds shaping the breed for centuries, it’s no surprise they’re considered one of the hardiest native sheep in the country. Their fleece reflects that heritage beautifully, with a slightly wilder, more organic appearance than many other sheepskins, full of depth, texture and natural movement.
Every rug has been individually selected for its texture, tone and character, with no two ever quite the same. From soft silvery greys to smoky taupes and earthy undertones, each fleece carries its own unique markings and natural charm. The result is a sheepskin that feels wonderful, naturally durable and full of rustic elegance. They look especially striking draped over a favourite armchair, layered beside a fireplace, or laid across wooden floors where their rich natural tones can really shine. Fair warning though, they do tend to become very popular with dogs, cats and anyone else in search of the cosiest spot in the house.
Each rug is individually photographed and listed in the drop-down menu as “Herdwick” followed by its number, matching the labels shown in the photographs. Measurements for every rug are also included in the drop-down menu, and each sheepskin comes with a complimentary sheepskin brush to help keep the fleece looking beautiful for years to come.

I bought two of these beautiful rugs and am so pleased. They are much softer and deeper piled than I’d imagined. Customer service was wonderful too, getting a call regarding the delivery and the best way to get them to me the fastest way possible. I can’t recommend them highly enough!
