Sheepskin collar #2 - large

Medium length curly sheepskin collar dyed light pink with 18" long tanoak bark tanned deer suede tassels. This larger style sits on the shoulders. 

This sheepskin was tanned and dyed naturally, from a sheep raised by Blackthorn Farm & Kitchen in Sandy Mush, NC. Dyed with alum and lac resin.

My sheepskins are tanned with mimosa (Acacia mearnsii) tannin extract, with additional ingredients used in the process including: salt, citric acid, soap, and distilled vinegar. They are softened with sheep tallow soap, sunflower seed lecithin, and 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. You can handwash with warm water and soap and line dry, or fill your washer and allow to soak. More info on my process, cleaning & care.
