Finally Revealed: Double's New Zealand Wool Sheepskin Collection Has Arrived Featured: Mackenzie Washable Wool Sheepskin in Mocha

In a world dominated by mass production, we’ve chosen to explore the path less traveled—creating Sheepskin textures through ethical and environmentally conscious means.

Our newest collection showcases rugs produced from 100% ultra dense New Zealand wool, harvested from sheep that graze freely across some of the world's most untouched landscapes and delivering an unparalleled quality that speaks through both touch and presence.

Beyond their sumptuous textures and distinctive appearance, these pieces offer practical benefits that set it apart from regular sheepskin rugs—from natural stain resistance to remarkable durability, we’ll be unveiling what makes this our most exciting launch to date. 

This isn't merely about introducing another product line; it's about rediscovering what thoughtful materials can contribute to the spaces we inhabit. 

Cloud-Like Comfort

Our sheepskin offerings capture the essence of New Zealand's finest wool, transformed through innovative processing techniques that preserve its natural characteristics while enhancing durability. The result is pieces that invite both admiration and interaction—rugs that remember your footsteps but return to their original form with quiet resilience.

Each fibre carries the natural lanolin that makes wool uniquely resistant to staining and moisture, allowing these pieces to maintain their integrity in even the most lived-in spaces. The distinctive curl pattern creates microscopic air pockets that regulate temperature, making these rugs adaptable companions throughout seasonal changes.

Beyond its ability to transform spaces and complement diverse interior styles, it maintains an unwavering commitment to comfort and liveability—because beautiful things should feel as good as they look.

Engineered for Washability

Our New Zealand wool collection represents a revolution in practical refinement, featuring yarns securely anchored to prevent shedding and a specialised backing that remains stable through washing cycles. Where traditional rugs deteriorate, ours maintain complete texture integrity after cleaning thanks to our anti-shed treatment that keeps fibres in place without compromising our non-toxic principles. Quality assurance drives every aspect of production, ensuring consistent pile height and even yarn distribution for a uniform appearance, while superior craftsmanship guarantees long-lasting performance through years of use and cleaning. 

These rugs dry with unprecedented efficiency through thoughtful material selection and construction. Without water-trapping internal structures common to traditional rugs, our sheepskin releases moisture effectively during spin cycles, with 100% New Zealand wool naturally repelling water while the organic cotton canvas foundation provides excellent moisture-resistant properties. By avoiding synthetic materials that typically trap dampness, we've created pieces that maintain texture integrity after cleaning and return to service quickly—a considered approach to design that delivers both sensory pleasure and practical functionality without compromise. 

The result is a dialogue between tradition and innovation that speaks volumes without saying a word.

Considered Creation

What truly sets this collection apart is our deliberate choice to use innovative azo-free dyes—a decision that elevates both environmental responsibility and personal wellbeing. This considered approach to colour ensures our pieces are not only visually compelling but also gentle on sensitive skin and kind to the planet, leaving you with an environment of pure, thoughtful comfort that resonates with our commitment to responsible design. 

Beyond these material choices, New Zealand wool itself brings remarkable natural properties. These sheep graze in environments free from many industrial pollutants, yielding fibres with fewer chemical residues and greater natural resilience. The country's strict agricultural standards ensure ethical farming practices, where sheep are shorn annually as a necessary part of their care. Perhaps most remarkably, wool continues to purify indoor air throughout its lifespan, absorbing and neutralising pollutants that would otherwise circulate through your living spaces.

Our New Zealand wool collection represents more than a material choice—it's a return to fundamentals that matter. These pieces occupy the intersection of thoughtful design and environmental consciousness, proving that true refinement lies in our freedom to live fully.

Our New Zealand Sheepskin wool collection embodies a vision where ethics and aesthetics coexist harmoniously. Each piece represents a thoughtful reimagining of traditional sheepskin through a contemporary lens—mindfully sourced from New Zealand's pristine backcountry and crafted with innovative approaches that celebrate ancestral techniques without sacrificing today's ethical standards.

As we continue exploring ways to bring functional beauty into everyday spaces, we invite you to experience these rugs not just visually, but through touch, time and the subtle ways they transform the experience of the rooms they inhabit—without the worry that has traditionally accompanied fine textiles.

The quiet revolution of practical refinement has arrived.
