Product Information

Classic Premium Sexto New Zealand Sheepskin Rug

Our Classic Premium Sexto Sheepskin Rug is crafted from six carefully selected and matched New Zealand sheepskin pelts, expertly joined to create a generous statement rug for larger rooms and floor spaces. The beautifully soft, long wool brings exceptional warmth, texture and natural luxury to living rooms, bedrooms and other spacious interiors.

Made from premium New Zealand-grown sheepskins, every pelt is carefully selected for its wool density, softness and overall appearance before being matched with the other pelts that make up your rug. The sheepskins are tanned in New Zealand using a gentle process without harsh chemicals, helping preserve the natural softness, lustre and character of the wool.

Available in Ivory White, Honey, Grey, Chocolate and Black. Our Ivory White retains the natural creamy-white colouring of genuine sheepskin rather than being a bright artificial white, so subtle cream and yellow undertones are part of its authentic character.

As genuine sheepskin is a natural product, no two Sexto rugs are exactly alike. Small variations in wool length, texture and colour are completely natural. Considerable care is taken to match all six pelts, creating a beautifully balanced finished rug while retaining the individual character of genuine sheepskin.

Made to Order in New Zealand

Every Sexto rug is made to order in New Zealand, allowing our tannery to carefully select and match six individual sheepskins specifically for your rug. Please allow approximately 2–3 weeks for your rug to be made before it is ready to ship to Europe.

As each large rug is individually made to order, we recommend checking your required dimensions and choosing your colour carefully before placing your order.

Caring for Your Sheepskin Rug

Regular Care: Regular brushing with a sheepskin care brush helps lift the wool fibres, maintain their softness and reduce matting. When practical, giving your rug a gentle shake outdoors can also help remove loose dust and debris.

Spot Cleaning: Attend to spills promptly using cold or lukewarm water and a suitable wool or sheepskin detergent. Blot and clean gently rather than rubbing vigorously, and avoid unnecessarily soaking the leather beneath the wool.

Professional Cleaning: Although large multi-pelt sheepskin rugs can be washed, we do not recommend washing a Sexto rug at home. A six-pelt rug becomes very heavy when wet and can be difficult to dry evenly without affecting its shape or softness. For a thorough clean, we recommend using a professional cleaner experienced with genuine sheepskin or leather-backed wool rugs.

What to Avoid: Do not use hot water, bleach, fabric softeners or conventional detergents containing enzymes. Avoid tumble drying and keep a wet or damp rug away from radiators, heaters and other sources of direct heat.

With regular brushing, prompt attention to spills and professional cleaning when required, your Classic Premium Sexto New Zealand Sheepskin Rug can retain its beautiful softness, natural character and luxurious wool finish for many years.

Sheepskin Rug Care

Keep your sheepskin soft and fresh with simple regular care.

Routine maintenance

Shake out your rug every couple of weeks and give it a gentle brush once or twice a month using a slicker or Bowron Care Brush. This keeps the fibres fluffy and removes dust in just a minute or two.

Spot cleaning

For small marks, use cold water and a natural soap or Woolskin Sheepskin Shampoo. Dampen a soft scrub brush, apply a little soap, and gently work the area until clean. Rinse thoroughly with cold water and blot dry. Hang in the shade and allow it to air dry - never use direct heat or sunlight.

Deep cleaning

Hand wash only when needed using cold water and Woolskin Sheepskin Shampoo. Avoid machine washing, bleach, or hot water as these can damage the leather backing.

Freshen up

To absorb odours or moisture, sprinkle baking soda onto the wool, leave for about an hour, then brush or vacuum it out.

With regular brushing and gentle care, your sheepskin rug will stay beautifully soft for years. Learn more on how to care for your wool rug with our care guide.

Sexto Sheepskin Rug | Premium New Zealand Sheepskin FAQs

Can I wash my sheepskin rug in a washing machine?

Most natural wool sheepskin rugs including premium grade ones should not be put in a regular washing machine because agitation and heat can damage the leather backing and matt the wool fibres. Hand washing in cool water with a wool-safe shampoo is generally recommended for deep cleaning. If machine washing is considered at all, only do so on a delicate wool cycle inside a protective laundry bag and check any care instructions first.

How do I clean and care for my rug to keep the wool soft and looking beautiful?

To care for Kiwi Sheepskins Classic Premium Sheepskin Rug and other wool sheepskin rugs, regular maintenance is key. Shake the rug outdoors or use a gentle vacuum (no rotating brush) to remove dust and dirt. For spot cleaning, use a wool-safe detergent and dab gently instead of rubbing. Deep cleaning is best done by hand washing in cool water with a wool shampoo, then air drying flat away from direct heat or sunlight to avoid damaging the wool and leather backing.

Will the dimensions or colour of this product vary from what I see online?

Yes, the size dimensions given for Kiwi Sheepskins Classic Premium Sheepskin Rug are approximate because it is made from natural wool sheepskins, and each pelt has slight variations. Also natural wool colours and shades may vary slightly from photos due to the unique characteristics of the fibre and natural tanning process.
