Sheepskin Mittens

January 16th, 2012 | Posted by TimD in Sheepskin mittens - (0 Comments)

As an adult I somewhat thought the idea of wearing mittens might have gotten away from me. Gloves are one thing of course, but mittens are for little kids are they not?

Well no, you are completely wrong about that. Mittens are cool these days. Perhaps it is something in the kitschy childlike wonderment that mittens conjure or maybe it is simply that these are some warm winter fashion accessories.

For anyone considering taking the leap into mitten wearing as an adult I would eagerly recommend sheepskin mittens. If you are considering mittens no form of them could be more adult-like than these sharp and cozy sheepskin mittens. Sheepskin of course is one of the best materials going and people are starting to figure it out. A sheepskin mitten will keep your hands warm throughout the cold months which are just now hitting their frosty stride.

Sure, maybe gloves are the more practical choice if you are hoping to do some serious outdoor work, but frankly even the most lose gloves are incredibly difficult to work in. Better to concern yourself with keeping warm in mittens than worrying about all the work you can’t do in gloves. That’s just my opinion though.

Smoother Hands Thanks to Sheepskin Gloves

January 11th, 2012 | Posted by KristenM in Sheepskin Products - (0 Comments)

sheepskin mittensOne of the worst parts about winter is the dry skin. I go through more lip balm and hand moisturizer than I’d like to think about. Even though I try to wear gloves and mittens as often as possible when the temperature drops, cold air seems to always seep through and it’s not long before the back of my hands start resembling sandpaper.

It didn’t take me long before I realized what the source of the problem was. I was continually wearing cheap gloves that didn’t provide enough insulation for my hands. The solution? I had to be willing to spend a bit more money on gloves that I knew would protect my hands. But spending more money also meant better quality and better quality means the gloves are going to last several seasons before any damage is done.

Sheepskin gloves not only keep my hands incredibly warm, even on the most bitter cold days, but they lock in that moisture so my hands never dry out. I’m sure hand lotion companies are sad that I don’t need quite as much lotion now, but my hands certainly appreciate the change.

Warm And Soft Sheepskin

January 9th, 2012 | Posted by TimD in sheepskin rugs - (0 Comments)

I remember my family’s old sheepskin rug vividly. We would all as a family set up in the living room to watch some movies. Snacks would sit on the coffee table while my parents would sprawl out onto the couch and me and my brothers would sit on that sheepskin rug. It was so soft and comfy I could hardly imagine I wasn’t sitting on a cloud. As the hours would tick through my brothers and I would each at our own time drift off to sleep right on that rug. We all simply found it incredibly comfortable.

Sheepskin rugs have that effect on people. If you lie on one, you want to immerse yourself in how soft and perfect it all is. Nestling up inside those tufts of wool will have you wishing every surface you would ever press your body up against were made of luxurious sheepskin.

Now that I’m older I try and get as much gear as I can in that lustrous sheepskin material. From sheepskin boots to sheepskin mittens. I just love the way the material feels. Warm and soft like all of the best fabrics. It is as if the kid dozing off on that rug never grew up.

Cleaning Sheepskin Rugs

December 16th, 2011 | Posted by daniela in sheepskin rugs - (0 Comments)

sheepskin rugSheepskin rugs are soft and beautiful but they’re also white. What if you accidentally spilled something, such as red wine, on your sheepskin rug? Act fast to soak up as much of the staining liquid as possible. Luckily, sheep’s wool is resistant to stains. Blot the stain with cold water. Then get a wool shampoo, dish detergent, or other mild soap to get the stain out. Move inwards, blotting continually.

If the stain has dribbled, consider treating it with soap and then setting it into the washing machine. After soaking in the machine for an hour it should be pretty much clean. Don’t put it in the dryer. Let it air dry in an area without direct sunlight, which can damage the wool fibers. If need be, wash it again. And if you can still see the stain after all of these home remedies, it may be time to seek professional help for your sheepskin rug.

The stain-resistant fibers of a real sheepskin rug should allow you to eventually clean it so it looks brand new. And since a real sheepskin rug is resilient enough over time to always look fresh and soft, you don’t have to worry about washing too hard.

From Sheepskin Slippers to a Sheepskin…Cape?

November 21st, 2011 | Posted by daniela in sheepskin rugs - (0 Comments)

sheepskin rugYeah, medieval times were barbaric and most people didn’t live past 35, but at least they got to wear capes. Think of how warm it would be to wear a sheepskin rug on your back. Not only would you look and feel like a warrior or a Viking, but you would know about serious warmth.

At least we can wear sheepskin in other ways today. Sheepskin boots are rugged and warm. Sheepskin hats make you look like you know the struggles of Siberia, which gives you props when walking down a cold windy city street and everyone is bundled up with their shoulders high and their chins low and you’re bouncing around like it’s summer. And, whereas most gloves, even those with thick inner linings, leave your fingers cold and numb, sheepskin gloves are on another plane.

Sheepskin is rugged, yet luxurious. It is a natural fiber and one that has been around for thousands of years, way before medieval times. Today it’s just as practical and popular as ever. Start small: choose sheepskin slippers or sheepskin gloves. Pretty soon, you’ll realize how great they are and want a sheepskin hat. And who knows, before long you may even want a sheepskin cape.

Welcome to the Sheepskin Source Blog!

October 25th, 2011 | Posted by sheepskin in sheepskin rugs - (1 Comments)

baby sheepskinHave you ever known the pleasure of a sheepskin rug? Sheepskin is naturally designed to stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter, which is why wool is so popular in rugged cold countries with grassy hills.

Sheepskin has many uses. From rugs to boots to gloves to slippers, there are plenty of ways to use this luxurious fiber. Australian sheepskin is some of the best, which is why Uggs are so popular. Natural sheepskin is environmentally friendly and is much finer than any synthetic sheepskin.

Because sheepskin is so practical, it has been used for thousands of years and is in part what led to the domestication of sheep; sheep products include milk and sheep meat, which is known as mutton from older ovines, and lamb when from younger ones. As one of the oldest domesticated animals, sheep have had a rich symbolic and symbiotic relationship with humans throughout history.

Welcome to the Sheepskin Blog! Here we’ll relate different uses, tips and ideas for sheepskin. Check in every Monday when a new post goes live and feel free to comment below about your favorite way to enjoy sheepskin, whether in sheepskin boots or sheepskin gloves. We look forward to hearing from you.
