Understanding Wool Density in Sheepskin Rugs
Wool density refers to the number of fibers per square inch, affecting the softness, thickness, and feel of a sheepskin rug.
- High-density wool has thick, plush fibers, offering a luxurious, fluffy texture, ideal for adding warmth and elegance.
- Medium-density wool strikes a balance between softness and a sleek look, perfect for versatile use.
- Low-density wool features shorter, spaced-out fibers, creating a flatter, lighter appearance, suitable for high-traffic areas.
Choosing the right density depends on your space and style preferences, with each option providing natural warmth and comfort.
Unique Shape and Texture
The sexto configuration of the rug involves skillfully arranging and stitching together six individual pelts. This results in a large, often irregular or roughly rectangular shape, with the natural edges of the pelts giving the rug a distinctive, organic look. The soft curls and texture of the wool are preserved, adding a charming, rustic touch. The rug’s dense and cushiony texture provides an exceptionally soft underfoot experience, making it a perfect addition to living rooms, bedrooms, or any space where comfort is a priority.
Variety in Density
One of the key features of the Merino sheepskin sexto rug collection is the variety in density and thickness. With four options to choose from, this rug can be tailored to individual preferences. Those seeking a thick, dense rug for maximum warmth and comfort will find an option that meets their needs, while others who prefer a lighter, more breathable feel can select a thinner version. These options allow for flexibility, ensuring the rug meets diverse requirements.
A Rustic and Functional Addition
The Merino sheepskin sexto rug not only adds rustic elegance to a room but also provides functional benefits. Its natural fibers insulate and soundproof a space effectively, making it popular for use in bedrooms, living rooms, and even nurseries. In addition, the rug’s neutral white and cream tones can easily match various decor styles, though it can also be dyed in different shades to suit specific design preferences.
In conclusion, the Merino sheepskin sexto rug offers a perfect balance of luxurious softness, unique texture, and practical functionality. With four density options available, this rug can transform any room into a warm and stylish sanctuary.

1. Regular Maintenance:
Shaking and Vacuuming:
- Shake: Regularly shake the rug outside to remove dust and dirt.
- Vacuum: Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to gently remove loose dirt and debris. Avoid using beater bars.
Brushing:
- Brush: Use a wire wool comb or a pet brush to gently brush the rug in the direction of the wool. This helps to maintain its fluffiness and remove tangles.
2. Spot Cleaning:
For Small Stains:
- Blot: Use a clean, dry cloth to blot any spills immediately. Avoid rubbing, which can spread the stain.
- Damp Cloth: For sticky or stubborn spots, dampen a cloth with cool water and gently blot the area.
- Mild Soap Solution: Use a mixture of cool water and a mild wool detergent. Dampen a cloth in the solution and blot the stain gently. Rinse by blotting with a cloth dampened with plain cool water.
For Grease or Oil Stains:
- Cornstarch or Talcum Powder: Sprinkle a generous amount on the stain and let it sit for a few hours to absorb the oil. Vacuum up the powder and gently brush the area.
3. Deep Cleaning:
Hand Washing:
- Soak: Fill a bathtub or a large basin with cool water. Add a small amount of wool-specific detergent.
- Gently Agitate: Submerge the rug and gently agitate it by hand. Avoid twisting or wringing.
- Rinse: Drain the soapy water and refill with cool water to rinse. Gently press the rug to remove soap residues.
Machine Washing (if permitted):
- Check Label: Only machine wash if the care label allows.
- Wool Setting: Use a delicate or wool-specific cycle with cool water.
- Wool Detergent: Add a wool-specific detergent.
- Avoid Spinning: Use a low spin setting or skip spinning to prevent damage.
4. Drying:
- Air Dry: Lay the rug flat in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Never tumble dry.
- Reshape: Gently stretch and reshape the rug while it’s damp to maintain its form.
5. Additional Tips:
- Avoid Bleach and Harsh Chemicals: They can damage the wool fibers and the leather backing.
- Rotate Regularly: Rotate your rug periodically to ensure even wear.
- Professional Cleaning: Consider professional cleaning for larger or heavily soiled sheepskin rugs.
