Our easy guide to making a fleece rug.
Follow this straightforward guide to making your own wet felted fleece rug. Sometimes referred to as a vegan sheepskin rug.
It takes a couple of hours but you get a beautiful rug at the end of the process. This one gets walked on every day and is still going strong many months after making it. Tough, cosy, warm, environmentally friendly beautiful and functional, what more could you want from a rug.
In this video we use white English tops purchased from www.worldofwool.co.uk for the backing and our own fleece for the rug.
No sheep were harmed in the making of this video and Edith has grown another beautiful thick fleece ready for next time.
A wet felted sheepskin rug is a beautiful and cozy addition to any room. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to make one yourself!
Materials:
-Sheepskin
-Soap
-Water
-Large basin or sink
-Towel
Instructions:
Soak the sheepskin in warm water and soap for 10 minutes.
Rub the sheepskin together to create friction, which will help the fibers to interlock and form felt.
Rinse the sheepskin in clean water until the water runs clear.
Roll the sheepskin up in a towel to remove excess water.
Place the sheepskin on a flat surface and stretch it out to the desired size.
Use a spray bottle to mist the sheepskin with water and let it dry.
Repeat steps 2-6 until the felt is the desired thickness.
Once the rug is fully felted, trim the edges to create a neat and even shape.
And there you have it! Your own handmade wet felted sheepskin rug, perfect for adding warmth and texture to any room in your home. Enjoy!

Our video journal of the trials and tribulations of daily life down the field.
We have a couple of kunekune pigs (originally from New Zealand) for rotavating and clearing up our land, a starter flock of rare breed sheep, Leicester Longwool ewes which we are keeping for their wool and meat, and a young Herdwick tup. A small flock of hens including some rescued battery hens to supply us with fresh free range eggs.
We also have a couple of native breed ponies which we hope to learn to ride and drive.
We hope to grow our own vegetables, fruit and flowers and are trying to be as self-sufficient and organic as we possibly can.
Everything down the field other than the perimeter fencing is made from something we have repurposed, recycled or reused.
We have an Ashford spinning wheel and our learning to spin yarn with which we can then crochet or knit things from it.
