About Sheepcovers Australia
Matilda Sheepcovers and Sheepcoats are miscommonly called Sheep Rugs and Sheep Blankets,Sheep jackets.
They are made from Tough pure UV treated Nylon.. used to grow soft clean tipless wool. Also used for covering Sheep ,Goats ,Alpacas.
Many customers refer them as Alpaca Covers. Very usefull for Alpacas as they keep the grass frrom entering the fibre.
No other Sheepcover is as tough and rip proof and will stand the outdoor life with UV
Canvas will rip... no doubt about that. Covers made from Canvas are too hot in Summer and cause discolouration of the wool/fibre ( yellow in Merino).
Matilda Sheepcovers is the Australian professional cover used by the best wool producers in the world.
Canvas rocky covers are only an imitation and are not used in Australia as the canvas contaminates will get into the wool when UV breaks the covers down and when a rip occours. This type of design in banned in Australia.The material Canvas also presses down on the wool.
