Fluffy lambskin, natural white (80 cm) - Premium quality

To restore the fluffiness of a sheepskin, it should be brushed regularly with a special sheepskin brush or a soft wire brush. Ideally, genuine sheepskin should not be washed in a washing machine, as this can make the leather hard and brittle; if washing is absolutely necessary, use a special leather conditioner and select the wool cycle at a maximum temperature of 30 degrees Celsius.

After washing, the lambskin should be dried in a cool, well-ventilated place, ideally lying flat on a drying rack. To keep the leather soft and supple, it is crucial to avoid direct heat sources such as radiators, sunlight, or dryers, as these will cause the leather to become hard and brittle. During the drying process, which takes approximately four to six days, the sheepskin must be regularly pulled, kneaded, and worked in all directions to keep the leather fibers loose and prevent them from shrinking.

Yes, lambskin can be dyed, although chrome tanning is often used as a base for subsequent dyeing. However, caution is advised when exposing the lambskin to direct sunlight, as UV rays can cause natural or artificial dyes to react, leading to fading or discoloration (even to brown tones). Furthermore, intense heat can make the leather hard and brittle; therefore, the lambskin should be protected from direct sunlight, or ideally, undyed lambskin should be used, as it is more lightfast.

To optimally protect a sheepskin from moths in summer, it should first be thoroughly cleaned (beaten and brushed) and then stored in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. Ideally, wrap the sheepskin in a breathable fabric bag or an old pillowcase; plastic bags are not recommended due to the risk of the material suffocating. Effective natural home remedies for repelling moths include sachets of lavender, cedarwood, bay leaves, cloves, or Swiss pine wood placed near the sheepskin. Regularly wiping the storage area with a vinegar solution can also help prevent infestation.
