Sheepskin collar #1 - large

Short classic white shearling sheepskin collar with 11" long tanoak bark tanned deer suede tassels. This larger style sits on the shoulders. 

This sheepskin was tanned naturally, from a sheep raised by Blackthorn Farm & Kitchen in Sandy Mush, NC.

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.
