Ever since I was a young girl, I have always loved the feel of sheepskin products. Having grown up on a farm the stables and barn were the places you most likely would find me. Even my horse’s tack had a lot of sheepskin that protected my horse from rash and injury to the skin. I think this is where my love for sheepskin and also realization of the comfort it afforded both my best friend and I as we grew.
When I got old enough to move out and afford my own place, the first things I bought for myself, were a few sheepskin rugs. I was fortunate enough to have rented a wonderful old cottage with a fireplace. Of course, that was about the only form of reliable heat I found out, so that was were the rug went. In the winter I spent more time sleeping on that rug than I did in my bed, and it kept me off the cold floor, warm and toasty. Plus it was so comfortable to sleep on, I ended up putting two large rugs on my bed.
At first when my mom got me sheepskin seat covers for my truck, I was a bit unconvinced that I wouldn’t roast sitting on them in the summer. I was totally wrong. On the contrary, I didn’t stick to the seat and the covers weren’t warm in the hot summer to sit on at all. I love all sheepskin items. I won’t even buy slippers or house boots unless they are lined in sheepskin.
