History has seen many uses for wool, and it was once a lifeline trade commodity for tribes, nations and industries. It has since been replaced by cheaper materials in the way it is used for many things. Because of it is made from sustainable animal sources, it is not banned for trading like marten or fox fur.

Wool products have been produced and marketed as all around household item, its makers still believe it is a fixture of civilization. However, the faux sheepskin rug has come as another product that can make wool use limited and safer. The history is relevant, and studying the new item along with it will make you realize how the new product is better.

The animal based product is still produced in quantities for its traditional national markets. But there is no hiding the fact that mandmade textiles are now found to have many kinds of advantages over the product. The first thing that comes to mind is that it is organic, and this means it can rot, or get eaten up by burrowing insects.

Where people had been used to having it as, say, living room rugs, today many want to replace their old wool items with fabrics that are more durable and do not decompose. When dirtied, stained or otherwise used as a heavy duty household item, it is very hard to clean or regain its natural beauty. The imitation items are much better for these considerations.

Faux sheep products are made from strong, versatile and highly ductile fibers related to plastics. These were created to answer the need for water resistant, protective gear applicable during wartime. These qualities and other relevant ones have made possible their successful transfer to civilian use.

Imitation is actually a very positive thing here, because it is tied to excellent design options and utility for these products. They have all the right answers for home or office needs, as things that can provide elegance or beauty as an area rug. Or as items that provide cover on spaces that need them, like where the mismatched tiles on the front foyer are, for instance.

That blah office part is made bright when imitation products are in use, the same as when original material is used. With this one consideration aside, these two distinct products split ways. Sheepskin is devalued, and even where tradition or upscale concerns are practiced, faux items are now considered acceptable for use and very hygienic at that.

Off white might look elegant in tasteful small doses, but will be monotonous if used too much. So the original product can be dyed, but dyes are not kind to it, and may also contain toxic chemicals needed to preserve it, or help suppress the smell and make it last longer. The list of disadvantages is too insurmountable for it, but luckily the faux material is there to take up the slack.

The imitation item definitely works better, even as consumers need to remember the caveat about offwhite when using it as a replacement for original values. With the use of dyes, this consideration becomes extinct, and with the use of new developments, it improves constantly. Being flexible, the faux product is adaptable to future trends and changing needs.
