About Gotland Sheep

The "Gotland Sheep," which inhabits only Gotland Island in Sweden, Northern Europe, is an extremely rare breed worldwide. Its wool is characterized by a beautiful natural silver-gray sheen and curly fleece. While having a silky smooth texture, it is also very durable and highly elastic. Since no dyeing is applied at all, and the natural gray tones are utilized as created by nature, no two pieces will have the exact same color or texture. Each possesses a unique individuality, existing like a natural work of art.

Furthermore, Gotland sheep wool excels in breathability, moisture absorption, and heat retention, making it warm in winter and comfortably cool in summer. It can be used comfortably throughout the year. In Northern Europe, it has long been used as a noble material for furniture, rugs, and clothing. The symbol of warmth and beauty nurtured by the Nordic way of life in harmony with nature—that is "Gotland Sheep."

Care Instructions for Gotland Sheep Cushions

To enjoy the unique soft texture and elegant luster of Gotland sheep for a long time, we recommend the following care methods:

■ Brushing
Gently brush along the direction of the hair with a natural material brush, such as horsehair. This will remove dust caught in the wool and restore its fluffy texture.

■ Air Drying in the Shade
On humid days, air dry it in a well-ventilated, shaded area. The excellent moisture-absorbing and releasing properties of the wool will naturally keep it clean. After air drying, lightly brush it or shake it a few times to remove dust. In Sweden, there's a custom of hanging it outdoors on snowy days, but in Japan, hanging it in a steamy bathroom for a few hours after a bath is also effective.

■ Washing
If dirt is particularly bothersome, we recommend spot cleaning. Dilute wool detergent, apply it to a towel or soft cloth, and gently pat the soiled area. Then, pat with a cloth dampened with water or lukewarm water to remove the detergent. While hand washing or using the delicate cycle of a washing machine is possible, some shrinkage or hardening of the backing may occur, so spot cleaning is a safer option. For long-pile types, please refrain from spot cleaning. For daily care, brushing and air drying in the shade are sufficient to maintain its beauty. If you desire dry cleaning, please consult a specialized fur cleaning professional.

■ Storage
When storing for an extended period, avoid non-breathable plastic bags and gently wrap it in a cotton or linen cloth for storage.
