Sheepskin #5 - 21" x 34

If you're looking for a sheepskin for a favorite reading nook to be totally enveloped in, this is the one! I think this is from the same flock as #8. The wool is quite soft and extremely dense, and averages about 4" in length. The leather is extremely supple and thin with a few small holes that don't show through. If you'd like me to patch this one just let me know! I suspect this is a Romney or merino cross, it is still quite lanolin rich and the wool had a lot more crimp before brushing to remove vm. Because it still has quite a bit of fine hay bits and seed, as well as some very minor discolorations on the leather side, I have discounted it. Approximate measurements taken from the leather side: 21" x 34" This sheepskin was naturally veg tanned by me, and diverted from the waste stream of a butcher shop outside of Marion, NC. . 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!
