We will be in touch
Anyone have one? Are they as good as they're meant to be? How much do they smell of sheep?
Yes. Yes. They don’t.
Does your wool jumper smell of sheep.??
We leave ours on all year not too hot or cold. They are fab
Yes, Yes and yes my woolroom one did smell like sheep dip at first
There was a thread on them a couple of weeks ago.
You want one - they're way, way better than synthetic or down for temperature regulation.
Some smell of sheep (if the wool is 'raw' rather than washed, e.g. Baavet. Yes, Baavet).
@benos I want one; looking for a means of convincing the boss…
Any recommendations where from? I see the 'Kea were doing them but it's a broken link.
You're asking the wrong person! We have Baavet cos we like the smell 😀 (we have three, for us and the kids).
You could also try Devon Duvets, as they may wash the wool before use. Both companies are small and nice to talk to. Not cheap, mind. Just not as pricey as down.
The sheep smell on the Baavet ones does go after a couple of months. It’s actually quite nice, although definitely a bit marmite, but it doesn’t last.
My Woolroom combi (one thicker, one thinner, use-them-together-for-winter) didn't smell of sheep.
I love it - heavier than usual duvet materials to give a vaguely weighted-blanket feel, warm without the sweatiness yet thinner than a 'normal' duvet.

Very much this. Ours is a Baavet from the bargain bin. A bit of sheepiness at the start but it wore off in a month. A shame as it was quite a soothing sensation being snuggled up with woolly creatures and dozing off
Ours is from the woolroom, one of the best things purchased.
During warmer days I aired it on the whirly gig after a good shake outside.
Warm in the winter, coolish in the summer. Good for the environment and ones health and all round win.
You're possibly thinking of Tweed, when they used sheepsies urine.
It is a known fact that on a damp day, the house of lords has quite a pong of urine about the place.

Thats a criminal offence in Scotland.
