Sheepskin collar #3 - large

Medium length very lustrous curly sheepskin collar - half and half natural white and dyed with logwood - with 14" long mimosa tanned sheep suede tassels. This larger style sits on the shoulders. 

This sheepskin was tanned and dyed naturally, from a sheep raised by Mezzaluna Fibers in Trade TN. Dyed with alum and logwood bark.

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.
