Sheep Coats

Coating your sheep can really help in keeping the growing fleece protected from the effects of weather and clean of vegetable matter. They also require more management- tight blankets can cause the wool to felt, and your sheep will invariably find any sharp points in the pasture to catch on!

​

Apple Creek Merinos are coated year-round and get their first blanket at about an hour old. The benefits of keeping them covered are clear and make for a far superior handspinning product. 

​

If you would like to order blankets for your sheep, keep reading below for options, then send me an email with your order. Coats will be made to order so expect 1-2 weeks' lead time to fulfill your order.

Sizing

To determine the blanket size, measure from the back of the neck to the top of the tail:

​

Find the nearest even number of inches and that is the blanket size.

The Fabric

Apple Creek Merinos sheep coats are made from 200 denier, 8.7oz ripstop polyester fabric. ​It is breathable and does not hold water. Polyester fabric blocks UV light better than nylon so the darker fabric colors will limit bleached tips on your fleeces. 
 

​

Grey and Hunter Green fabric will be standard options, and if you would like a custom color you can select from the options below: 

*Add 1-2 weeks' additional lead time for ordering custom fabric
