What is the difference between sheepskin and sheep wool?

Sheepskin is the hide of the animal and includes the wool attached to the hide. In a sheepskin, the wool remains attached.

Sheep wool is the fibre sheared off the sheep and used to make various wool products. At Soul Comfort, we use sheep wool fabric to manufacture most of our products.

What is sheep wool fabric?

The fabric used in our products is a combination of wool fibre (sheared off the sheep), a nylon grid and a medical-grade acrylic liquid stabilizer. It is made using a process that takes the loose wool and ‘knits’ it into the nylon grid. Then, the acrylic is used to stabilize the wool in place and create a flat surface by which the fabric can be cut. This results in a material that has the look of sheepskin, without the animal's hide. As a result, the wool is machine washable.

General care:

Expect a small amount of shedding when the product is new, as there will be some loose fibres. You can machine air fluff (no heat) for five minutes to remove excess fibres. Keep away from high heat and direct sunlight.

Over time and with more use, wool fibres will naturally bind together creating a more ‘clumped’ look. This change in the look does not affect the performance of the wool. You will still receive all of the natural and beautiful benefits. If you prefer a fluffier look, you can brush the product with a metal brush after laundering.

With care, your wool products will last many, many years.

Washing instructions:

Machine washable on delicate setting in cool/lukewarm water (up to 70°C) with a wool soap containing lanolin, such as Eucalan. Air drying is recommended. You may use a dryer WITHOUT HEAT to fluff your product. Remove from dryer before it dries completely (up to 85%). The excess moisture will not be felt and will disperse into the air quickly.

Wool is anti-microbial and will not need excessive laundering. To freshen your product, air it out by hanging it outside when the air is moist, out of direct sunlight. When you bring it back inside, the wool will release the moisture into the air—this moisture redistribution results in a refreshing. If there is some staining or seepage from wounds, you can spot clean with warm water (up to 70°C) and a disinfecting soap. Do not bleach.
