Wool absorbs moisture without feeling wet, making it an ideal material for changing weather conditions. Sheep wool feels soft and pleasantly warm. Its breathability makes it comfortable even indoors.

How it is sourced:
Sheep wool is collected from sheep, which are the most common livestock animals around the world. Annual wool yield of sheep varies depending on breed, feeding, health and environment, but on average one sheep produces about 2-5 kg ​​of wool per year.

Ecology:
When sheep are raised ethically and mulesing-free, wool production can be a highly sustainable resource. Sheep wool is biodegradable and renewable, and can be produced using grazing methods that protect the soil.

Sheep wool can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet, making it ideal for outdoor clothing.

Sheepskin

Features:
Sheepskin is nature's own luxury product: warm, soft and extremely versatile. Its wool side is airy and insulating, while the leather side makes it a durable and long-lasting choice for both use and decoration. BääBää®️'s high-quality sheepskin does not shed hair during use.

User experience:
Sheepskin feels soft and warm against the skin – like a little piece of nature’s comfort. It adapts to body heat and brings a pleasant softness to chairs, strollers, beds or floors, for example.

How it is sourced:
Sheepskin is a by-product of the meat industry – the hide is obtained from the skin of sheep, which would otherwise remain unused as industrial waste. The hides are treated gently, often by vegetable tanning or using the most environmentally friendly methods possible. The largest producing countries include Iceland, the United Kingdom and New Zealand.

Ecology:
When processed responsibly and without harmful chemicals, sheepskin is a sustainable choice: a natural, biodegradable and responsible material. The long lifespan of sheepskin reduces the need for new purchases – it is a one-time purchase that lasts for years. Utilizing sheepskin is also an ecological way to further process a by-product of another industry.

Surprising information:
Well-maintained sheepskin cleans itself! Wool repels dirt and grease, and often just ventilating it in fresh air is enough to keep it clean and fresh.

Examples of uses for sheepskin: A decorative element for a chair, sofa or floor. As a sleeping pad for a bed or stroller. As a seat pad for a trip, sled, car or camper. As a sleeping pad for a pet or even as material for crafts.

Reindeer Hide

Features:
Reindeer hide is a durable beauty of the northern nature – warm, light and highly insulating. Its fur is dense and finely structured, making it ideal for cold surfaces. The leather side is thin but tough, and it lends itself to many uses, both in interior design and outdoors. Reindeer hide is naturally heat-insulating, breathable and has a unique appearance – each hide is individual.

User experience:
Reindeer hide feels soft on the skin, but lighter than sheepskin. It provides effective warmth even on cold surfaces and brings a Nordic feel to any space. Reindeer hides naturally shed a little hair, so we recommend them especially for decorative use – for example, as interior decoration, on a wall, at the head of a bed, or as an atmosphere-creating material in a space where it is not exposed to constant friction.

How it is sourced:
Reindeer hides are a by-product of reindeer meat production. They are mainly obtained from reindeer herding areas in the Nordic countries – especially Finland and Norway – where reindeer herding is part of traditional culture and a sustainable livelihood. The hides are processed in a way that respects tradition, often using vegetable tanning or other environmentally friendly methods.

Ecology:
Reindeer hide is an ecological choice when it is responsibly processed. It is biodegradable, renewable and part of the circular economy: the whole animal is used, and nothing is wasted. Its long lifespan and timeless appearance make it a sustainable choice that easily replaces many disposable products.

Surprising information:
The excellent insulating properties of reindeer hide are based on its special hair – each hair is hollow on the inside, making it an effective thermal insulator even in arctic conditions. That is why reindeer hide is still used today, for example as sleeping mats on wilderness trips.

Examples of uses for reindeer hide:
A decorative element for the headboard, chair, floor or wall. A mood-creating piece for a cottage or living room. For light outdoor use – for example, on a lean-to or terrace. A great gift for someone who appreciates northern aesthetics and closeness to nature.
