These unique lambskins are sourced from Tibet & Western China. Their soft and silky fibres and light weight make them ideal for a beautiful range of accent rugs, cushions & throws. With their distinctive long curly wool fibres, they bring uncompromising natural luxury and opulence into the home. The colour ranges for Tibetan lambskins are very dynamic and well suited to accents in the home. Tibetan is identified by its signature, long ‘corkscrew’ fibre. Often incorrectly referred to as Mongolian, Tibetan lamb is known for its long and twisted wool fibres. This dramatic natural fibre is a key design-staple for many home décor looks.
