As the agent in the United States and Canada for Iceland Skin Industries, we are able to offer the best prices for these beautiful, all-natural colored sheepskins. With a wool length of approximately 6” to 8”, the sheepskins make ideal rugs and furniture coverings.  The hair is so long that it does not go in one direction like a dog or cat's fur, but rather it falls in every direction.  This is not a hollow hair, so it doesn't break or shed.

Genus and species: Ovis aries.

Icelandic sheepskins are not endangered.

The skins are a by-product of the food industry.  The animals were not killed just for their skins.

These skins can be shipped outside of the U.S. without a USFWS export permit.

A Note on Size and Quality

The Standard skins measure approximately 6 to 7 square feet and are approximately 36” by 24” wide.  They may have slight imperfections, such as a small hole on the hide side or a rip that has been sewn up.  We usually do not recommend these for us as decorative skins, even though it is usually impossible to notice the imperfection from the hair side.

The Super First skins measure approximately 6 to 7 square feet and are approximately 36” by 24” wide.  However, they are of better quality than the Standard skins with few if any imperfections on the hide side.  These are suitable as decorative skins.

The Super Large skins are good-quality skins measuring approximately 7 to 8 square feet and are approximately 42” by 26”.  The quality is the same as the Super First.  The skins are just a bit larger.
