Kaikoura Long Wool Single NZ Sheepskin Rug - Black

Kaikoura Long Wool Single NZ Sheepskin Rug - Black | Online8 New Zealand

Black is the strongest of the Kaikoura long wool sheepskin rugs: a genuine New Zealand sheepskin, one hide, 600 x 900mm. Against pale timber, light carpet or a white-walled room it acts as an anchor, giving a scheme somewhere to sit and a bit of contrast. It is equally at home on the floor by the bed, thrown over a chair, or across a bench seat.

Why It Stands Apart

• Genuine NZ sheepskin: A real New Zealand hide with the wool on, which is what gives it the weight and softness a synthetic version lacks.
• Grounds a light room: A dark sheepskin adds contrast and definition where everything else is pale, in the way a dark cushion or frame does.
• Long wool depth: Black shows off the length of the wool particularly well, since the light picks out the tips against the darker base.
• Practical in a busy spot: A dark tone is more forgiving of everyday marks than a white or ivory skin in a hallway or home office.
• Single-hide 600 x 900mm: Enough to cover a chair seat or claim one side of the bed, without becoming the room's main event.
• Use it flat or draped: Floor rug, chair throw or bench cover, and it can move between all three whenever you feel like a change.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this genuine sheepskin?
Yes. Its composition is NZ Sheepskin, so it is a real New Zealand hide rather than a synthetic pile rug.

Where does black work best?
It has the most impact in a light room, where it grounds pale floors, white walls and light upholstery. It also pairs well with black metal furniture legs, dark timber or leather if you would rather it blended in than stood out.

How does it compare to the Double?
This Single is one hide at 600 x 900mm. The Double is 600 x 1800mm, made from two hides joined, which suits running alongside a bed or over a longer sofa.

What is the best way to care for it?
Shake it out regularly and brush the wool through with a sheepskin or wire brush to keep the pile full. Deal with small marks by spot cleaning rather than wetting the whole skin, and keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight to protect the colour. Ring the showroom if you want advice on a specific stain.
