Our felted sheepskins have become family favorites. The first one stands out with its black felted underside peeking at the edges and varying curl thicknesses for a designer edge—far from ordinary. It's perfect as a floor rug, wall hanging, or pet bed. Our pets adore it, sparking me to order a second one.
Ca$h (our Kooikerhondje) and our three cats battle for prime spots on this plush rug—they're obsessed! With their mutual tolerance at best, separate sheepskins ensure peace. Franke crafted another beauty, banishing the need for an unsightly dog bed.
Felting your own requires expertise with materials like green soap—it's labor-intensive. I once planned a workshop that fell through. Now, I appreciate these artisan pieces and prefer buying from pros like Franke.
Options abound online, but Franke's Instagram (@frankesfurs) stole my heart. She crafts stunning rugs from small decor pieces for stools to custom XXXXL felts (on request—a massive undertaking).
Each has a story and name, like our 'In Nije Dei' (black-felted base) and 'Olivia,' drawn from the sheep's origins. Sourced from places like Texel and across the Netherlands, her Instagram shares heartwarming tales of the sheep, adding soul to every piece. No website—DM her directly for purchases or inspiration.

For authenticity and warmth, real sheepskin wins. Mine weren't pricier than quality fakes but offer unmatched character. Drape one over your couch, garden bench, or pair with a Stoov cushion for outdoor coziness—perfect for chilly evenings under a canopy.
Here's inspiration for incorporating sheepskin into your interiors or outdoor spaces.
