Aaarrrgh! My sheepskin numnah just disolved in the wash!!

[Ilovefoals]

I put my lovely white fluffy Stephens sheepskin numnah in the wash today and it has fallen apart! It hadn't been used or washed in about a year but I didn't expect it to disintigrate! Wonderful cos I can't afford to replace it at the mo. Aaaargh!

You've been unlucky as i wash all my sheepskin saddlecloths very frequently and have never had a problem yet! I use a 30 degree wash with wool wash detergent.

I've washed it loads of times before on a wool wash and it's always been fine. Maybe it was because it had been sat in my locker for a year? There is literally fluff everywhere! It looks like there's been a sheep massacre in my utility room

Gutting . Very unlucky as I was my sheepskin things as well. Or I did... before my horse decided he's allergic to them.

Boo hiss!!!

We always hand wash ours - shampoo and conditioner, otherwise they fall apart as you've found out.....
