What is the difference between sheepskin and sheep wool?

Sheepskin is the hide of the animal and includes the wool attached to the hide. In a sheepskin, the wool remains attached. Sheep wool is the fibre sheared off the sheep and used to make various wool products. At Soul Comfort, we use sheep\'s wool to make most of our products.

What is sheep wool fabric?

The fabric used in our products is a combination of wool fibre (sheared from sheep), a nylon grid, and a medical-grade acrylic liquid stabilizer. It is made using a process that takes the loose wool and ‘knits’ it into the nylon grid. Then, acrylic is used to stabilize the wool and create a flat surface for cutting the fabric. This results in a material that looks like sheepskin, without the animal\'s hide. As a result, the wool is machine washable. 

Backing:Solid colours and various prints are available.  Please message us, and we will send you samples of our current fabrics. If you have a unique colour/print in mind, we will do our best to accommodate your request. Click \"Ask about this product or make custom requests\" below and message us.

Give Your Baby the Womb Environment They Remember

General care:

Expect a small amount of shedding when the product is new, as it may release some loose fibres. You can machine air-fluff (no heat) for 5 minutes to remove excess fibres. Keep away from high heat and direct sunlight.

Over time and with more use, wool fibres will naturally bind together, creating a more ‘clumped’ look. This change in the look does not affect the performance of the wool. You will still receive all of the natural and beautiful benefits. If you prefer a fluffier look, you can brush the product with a metal brush after laundering.

With care, your wool products will last many, many years.

Washing instructions:

Machine washable on delicate setting in cool/lukewarm water (up to 70°C) with a wool soap containing lanolin, such as Eucalan. Air drying is recommended. You may use a dryer WITHOUT HEAT to fluff your product. Remove from dryer before it dries completely (up to 85%). The excess moisture will not be felt and will quickly disperse into the air.

Wool is anti-microbial and will not need excessive laundering. To freshen your product, air it out by hanging it outside when the air is moist, out of direct sunlight. When you bring it back inside, the wool will release the moisture into the air. This moisture redistribution results in a refreshing. If there is a staining spot, clean it with warm water (up to 70°C) and Eucalan soap to ensure the wool remains soft. Do not bleach.
