{"title":"Curly Sheepskin Rugs","description":"\u003cp\u003eA curly sheepskin rug is a genuine New Zealand Merino skin with a short, tightly curled fleece that sits close to the hide. It is the harder-wearing of our two fleece types, and the one to choose if the skin is going somewhere it gets used every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy pick curly over longwool\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe short pile springs back instead of flattening, so a curly sheepskin rug keeps its shape under weight and along the paths people walk. It also holds less dust than a deep pile, which means a shake and an airing is usually all the upkeep it needs. If the skin is going on a dining chair, an office chair or a floor, this is the practical choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trade-off is depth. Longwool is the one you sink a hand into. Curly is the one that still looks tidy after a year of daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe three sizes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/ns254189\"\u003eSingle\u003c\/a\u003e, one whole skin, about 35 in long.

Ivory is the natural, undyed shade and the most light-stable, so it handles a bright room best. Sizes are approximate, since every skin is shaped by the animal it came from.
