To maintain the suppleness of the white shoulder fleece of the Northland sheep and prevent matting of the approximately 15 cm long wool fleece, the following care instructions are recommended: - Regular shaking: The fleece should be shaken regularly in fresh air to remove dust and loose dirt.
- Gentle brushing: To prevent matting in the long fleece, the fleece should be combed regularly with a suitable fur brush. This maintains the silky texture of the wool.
- Natural self-cleaning: Since natural fleeces often still contain a natural lanolin content, they are dirt-repellent; airing in high humidity (e.g., in the bathroom or in fog) is usually sufficient to regenerate the fibers.
- Spot cleaning: If necessary, soiling should only be treated locally with a damp cloth or special fur detergent to keep the leather supple and prevent it from drying out.
