Description
This is a weighted door stop shaped as a sheep, with a soft, curly shearling-look body and a plain woven face, ears and feet in a subtle herringbone pattern. The body fabric is a sherpa polyester pile; the face and feet fabric is a polyester-rich blend that carries a small amount of wool and cotton. It sits low and rounded, with the head lifted and the eyes stitched closed in a calm, sleepy expression, so it reads as a friendly object rather than a plain wedge.
A door stop like this earns its place anywhere a door swings shut on its own: a nursery or child's bedroom, a hallway that catches a draught, a living room or kitchen where you want the door held open while you carry things through. Because it is filled with sand as well as polyester, it has real weight for its size and stays put on carpet or a hard floor. It suits a soft, neutral scheme and works well beside natural textures such as a wicker basket or a wool throw, where its cream tone settles in rather than shouting.
The head, ears and feet are made from the herringbone-patterned fabric, while the curly fleece covers the head and body. Polyester holds its shape and shrugs off everyday knocks, which is what you want from something that spends its life being nudged by a door. The supplier gives no washing guidance for this piece, so we do not offer any; treat it as a decorative weighted accessory. If you like animal-shaped pieces with a plain, calm face, it is an easy one to live with day to day.

Frequently Asked
What is inside the sheep door stop?
It is filled with a mix of sand and polyester, so it has genuine weight for its size and holds a door steadily against a draught.
Will it hold a door open on carpet?
Yes. The sand filling gives it enough weight to stay put on both carpet and hard flooring while it keeps a door propped for you.
What does the body feel like?
The body is a soft, curly sherpa polyester fleece, while the face, ears and feet use a smoother woven fabric with a subtle herringbone pattern.
Which rooms does it suit?
It works in a nursery, a child's bedroom, a hallway, a living room or a kitchen, anywhere a door tends to swing shut on its own.
What colour is it?
The fleece body is a soft cream white and the herringbone face and feet are a natural sandy beige, so it settles into neutral schemes.
