The Icelandic Sheepskin by Cuero Design is a luxurious adaptable accessory that can be used as a rug, blanket, or throw, enriching a living space by adding a soft tactile texture. Icelandic sheep are one of the oldest and purest breeds in the world, relating back to a breed that was brought to Iceland by the Vikings thousands of years ago. To survive the cold winters, the sheep have developed an ultra-thick wool coat that is both long lasting and soft to touch. The sheepskin is perfect for adding warmth to a lounge chair or sofa, or for being elegantly placed over a footstool or bed; creating an inviting atmosphere of comfort, restfulness and security; ideal for the cold winter months.
