Sheepskin Rug Purple

Sheepskin Rug Purple
This isn't a flat, uniform dye job. Look closely and the fleece shifts between deep aubergine and brighter violet depending on how the light catches it, which is exactly what you want from a coloured sheepskin - tone without flatness. It keeps the natural shape of the pelt, tapering at the legs and neck, so no two lie quite the same way once you shake them out.
Genuine Hide, Dyed With Care
This is a real sheepskin, not a synthetic imitation - a by-product of the meat industry rather than an animal farmed for its fleece. The wool is dense and long, with the kind of deep pile that makes you want to run your hand through it before you've even decided where to put it. It's part of our Classic Sheepskin Rugs range, sitting alongside other single-pelt colours in the same style.
Sizes and Where It Works
Measured vertically, from head to tail:

Medium - 90 x 60 cm
Large - 95 x 65 cm
Extra Large - 100 x 65 cm

As with any natural hide, expect small variations between skins - that's part of buying the real thing rather than a mass-produced copy. A single pelt like this suits a bedside spot, an armchair seat, or draped over the back of a chair or sofa where the colour and texture can do the talking. If you want more coverage for a living room floor, our full Sheepskin Rugs range includes larger multi-skin options too.
Looking After Your Sheepskin
Sheepskin is more forgiving than people expect. Shake it out regularly to keep the fleece lofted, and vacuum occasionally on medium suction with a standard nozzle - never a rotating head, which can pull at the wool. A sheepskin brush once a month will keep the fibres separated and stop any matting. Keep it out of strong, direct sunlight to protect the colour, and away from damp, which affects the pelt underneath.
