Rectangular Sheepskin Rugs | Genuine NZ Sheepskin

Bring natural warmth and luxury into your home with our Rectangular Sheepskin Rugs, expertly crafted from carefully selected New Zealand sheepskins. Multiple pelts are individually matched, trimmed and sewn together to create a beautifully balanced rectangular rug with a luxurious, consistent wool surface.

Available in sizes from 4 to 16 pelts, these substantial sheepskin rugs are ideal for living rooms, bedrooms and larger open spaces where you want to introduce the unmistakable softness, warmth and natural character of genuine sheepskin.

Made from premium New Zealand-grown sheepskins, each individual pelt is carefully selected for its wool density, softness, length and overall appearance. Considerable skill goes into matching and positioning the pelts so they blend beautifully together before being expertly joined to create the finished rectangular shape.

The sheepskins are tanned and the finished rugs are crafted in New Zealand using a gentle tanning 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 ivory undertones are part of its authentic character.

As genuine sheepskin is a natural product, no two rugs are exactly alike. Small variations in wool length, texture and colour are part of what makes every finished rug unique.

Made to Order in New Zealand

Our larger rectangular sheepskin rugs are made to order in New Zealand. Our tannery carefully selects individual sheepskins for each rug, matching the wool colour, length, density and overall appearance before expertly joining the pelts together.

Please allow approximately 2–3 weeks for your rug to be made before it is ready to ship. For particularly large or custom rugs, additional time may occasionally be required to source enough closely matched sheepskins.

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

Caring for Your Rectangular Sheepskin Rug

Regular Care: Regular brushing with a sheepskin care brush helps lift and separate the wool fibres, maintain their softness and reduce matting. When practical, gently shaking your rug or carefully vacuuming it using a low-suction setting 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 genuine sheepskin can be washed, we do not recommend washing our larger multi-pelt rugs at home. Large sheepskin rugs become extremely heavy when wet and can be difficult to handle and dry evenly without affecting their 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 wet or damp sheepskin away from radiators, heaters and other sources of direct heat.

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

Shipping Your Sheepskin Rug

We ship our New Zealand sheepskin rugs to customers throughout New Zealand, the United States and worldwide.

Larger rugs are carefully packed and compressed for international shipping to keep the parcel as compact and well protected as possible during transit. When your rug first arrives, the wool may therefore appear slightly flattened or compressed.

Once unpacked, lay the rug flat and give it a gentle shake followed by a thorough brushing with a sheepskin care brush. This will help lift and separate the wool fibres and restore the rug's natural loft and luxurious appearance. The wool will continue to relax naturally after unpacking.

Please remember to allow the 2–3 week made-to-order timeframe for larger rugs before shipping. Once your rug has been completed and dispatched, tracking details will be emailed to you so you can follow its journey.
