Dyed Icelandic Sheepskin as a Material
The wool of Icelandic sheepskins is known for its long and airy structure. Its wool consists of two layers, a soft undercoat and a longer outer coat. This natural structure makes the material simultaneously warm, breathable, and striking.
Careful dyeing brings new shades to the hide, but the natural texture and softness of the wool are preserved. The long wool gives the hide a vibrant texture that reacts to light and movement.

Material Information - Dyed Icelandic Sheepskins
Material
Icelandic sheepskin
The color of the hide has been carefully treated to preserve the natural texture and softness of the wool. The wool structure of an Icelandic sheepskin consists of two layers: a soft undercoat and longer outer hairs.
The leather side of our hides has been finished into a soft suede, the velvety feel of which makes the material pleasant and refined.
Features
Characteristics of a genuine sheepskin
Dyeing brings new, interior-friendly shades to natural wool while preserving the characteristic features and soft feel of a genuine sheepskin. Each hide is unique, and its natural texture makes every piece one of a kind.
Wool is a naturally dirt and odor-repellent material, which makes the sheepskin easy to care for. The airy structure of the wool also helps to absorb sound and soften the room's acoustics.

Tips for choosing
Tips for choosing a sheepskin
A medium-sized sheepskin is often a suitable choice as a seat cover for a chair. For an armchair or sofa, a larger sheepskin adds extra softness and creates a striking look. On the floor, a larger sheepskin or a combination of several skins works as a natural rug.
Sheepskins are often chosen in pairs, for example for two chairs or as part of a cohesive interior decor.
If you are planning a set using several sheepskins or are looking for a specific size, shade, or material appearance, we are happy to help you choose the right options.

Care instructions
Care instructions for long-wool sheepskins
- Regular shaking and airing help to keep the sheepskin fresh and natural-looking. Remove loose dust or dirt with a light vacuum if necessary.
- Wool Brushing - Sheepskins may be gently brushed when needed to maintain the natural appearance of the wool. Brushing is not recommended for curly-wool sheepskins, as it may loosen the curls and alter the wool’s natural texture.
- Sheepskin can be treated with lanolin spray.
- A genuine sheepskin does not require washing unless it becomes heavily soiled.
- Spot clean with a mild detergent suitable for wool.
- Avoid excessive moisture and wetting.

Origin
The origin of our Icelandic sheepskins
BääBää Icelandic sheepskins originate from Iceland and they are sourced as a by-product of the meat industry. This way, a valuable natural material is repurposed as long-lasting interior design products.
Long-wooled sheepskin in interior design
The long and airy wool of the Icelandic sheepskin makes it a striking and lively interior design element. The long wool creates a natural surface where texture and movement bring depth and warmth to a room.
The organic shape and natural texture of the skin create a beautiful contrast when paired with wood, stone, and other natural materials. The long wool moves lightly and reflects light, which gives the skin its recognizable, lively appearance. The Icelandic sheepskin fits naturally into both modern and classic interiors. It brings softness to a chair, sofa, or floor, for example.
