Sheepskin #7 - 16" x 28"

A sweet black and white hair sheep, so it will not have the loft of a wool sheep, but makes a very cute accent rug! Thicker but very supple leather, this would be a great one for bag making, too. 

This sheepskin was naturally veg tanned, and diverted  from the waste stream of a butcher shop outside of Marion, NC. 

Approximate measurements taken from the leather side:  16" x 28"

.

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.
