Sheepskin #4 - 23" x 27"

This sheepskin has very curly, soft 2-3" wool locks, with a lot of guard hairs which suggest it is a hair/wool sheep cross. Hair sheep and their crosses have the tendency to shed little white hairs more than wool sheep, and may be best suited to a pet bed, or a very un-fussy home! Priced to reflect this. The leather on this is very supple with no holes. 

This sheepskin was naturally veg tanned, and salvaged from a family-run butcher shop in Rutherfordton, NC. 

Approximate measurements taken from the leather side:  23" x 27"

.

This hide is tanned with mimosa (Acacia mearnsii) tannin extract, with additional ingredients used in the process including: salt, citric acid, Charlie's soap, and distilled vinegar. They are softened with sunflower seed lecithin and organic sunflower oil. 

Because the tanning and washing process I use does not involve harsh petroleum-derived solvents, and instead mostly handwork, the wool may contain seeds or small pieces of leaves and other vegetable matter, and it may also retain a faint smell of sheep and bark. Enjoy it! To care for this hide, air it out often, but when needed these are machine washable on a cold/gentle cycle! All sheepskin orders come with a care card explaining how to care for your sheepskin so it can be passed down for generations.
