Peg Loom Sheep Fleece Rug - Made with Aila's Fleece

A lovely thick woolly rug made from a whole sheep's fleece 

Hand woven on a peg loom using the fleece grown by our beautiful Whitefaced Woodland ewe called Aila, shown in the picture. This rug tells her story, even down to the splash of colour on her fleece from tupping time. It truly is ewe-nique!

Approx. 23in x 33in

A peg loom is a tool for weaving textiles by hand onto a strung warp, and its use goes back as far as Viking times. Natural jute twine is used as the warp (the up and down bit) and then sheep fleece for the weft (the side to side bit). 

The rug can be washed by soaking in soapy water and then rinsing, repeating if necessary. Please note that our sheep are farm animals and live outside, and even though care has been taken to remove as much as possible, there is likely to be some small bits of vegetation embedded within the fleece. 

Please send us an email if what you want isn't in stock or you have a bespoke requirement - we can always make to order.
