Product Story

Sheep Footstool in Curly Barley

The sheep footstool in curly barley is fully upholstered in genuine short, curly sheepskin, which gives the sheep-shaped form its distinctive fleece. Its soft barley-beige colouring is warm but understated, and the natural material varies from one footstool to another. The piece you receive will therefore be similar to the photographs rather than identical, with the fleece giving each one an individual appearance.

The handmade construction continues in the wooden and fabric details that define the sheep's face and stance. Natural wooden legs support the compact body, while the solid-wood snout is hand-finished with a light oak-coloured stain and lacquer; tweed-style fabric ears add a contrasting texture beside the curls. At around 6–7 kg, the footstool has a sturdy, substantial feel.

It can serve as a place to rest your feet or stand as a decorative piece, bringing a playful sheep shape to rustic, country or farmhouse-inspired surroundings. A complimentary wooden name tag can be personalised with a name or short message, adding a detail chosen especially for its owner. That makes it a thoughtful choice for someone furnishing a country home, or a characterful addition to your own favourite room.

A Wye Knot closer look

A more personal find

The curly fleece on this exact footstool needs a light touch rather than soaking when it is cleaned. Tweed yourself advises keeping it away from direct heat and sunlight, using only a damp sponge for spills and never over-wetting the genuine sheepskin, as this can affect its texture and smell. You can therefore choose its position with those limits in mind and deal with spills without saturating the skin.
