Benefits of Sheep Hides
Ranching Tradition Fiber’s naturally tanned sheepskins are the perfect combination of luxurious comfort and sustainability. They bring to the table a variety of beneficial properties for you, your family, and your home. At Ranching Tradition Fiber, we cherish generational knowledge and appreciation of timeless artifacts, which is exactly what a sheepskin is.
Warmth and Comfort: A sheepskin provides unparalleled comfort and softness. Think of a warm bowl of stew on a snowy winter day; that is what it feels like to sink down into one. Natural fibers trap air pockets, creating an insulating layer that keeps you warm or cold days and cool on warm days. Babies experience extra soothing benefits from sheepskins, which helps encourage deep, restful sleep.
Breathability: Wool is naturally crimped, allowing air circulation even while creating tiny air pockets that act as insulation. This eliminates the stuffy, overheated feeling that is often associated with synthetic fibers. This means that sheepskins are an ideal product for winter and summer use.
Antimicrobial and Hypoallergenic: Sheepskin and wool are hypoallergenic and antimicrobial. Wool has natural dirt resistance, which makes it easy to clean, and reduces allergen presence. Wool can help regulate the humidity of a room by absorbing moisture without feeling wet. This can help reduce the growth of mold and reduce strong smells. Sheepskins can also improve eczema symptoms by reducing overheated skin and wicking moisture.
Eco-Friendly and Sustainable: Ranching Tradition Fiber’s sheepskins are naturally tanned using mimosa bark, which minimizes chemical and water pollution. Sheepskins are extremely resilient and can last many years if cared for properly, which reduces the need to replace them regularly. Unlike synthetics, sheepskins are biodegradable, which reduces long-term landfill impacts.
Our sheep live happy and comfortable lives in the fields surrounding the ranch and are cared for immensely. Here at Ranching Tradition, we believe in respecting the animals we raise by minimizing by-products and waste, which is exactly what a sheepskin could be if not tanned and preserved. Just one touch of our true Montana sheepskin will elevate your comfort, health, and admiration for wool and all it has to offer.
