Sheepskin #5 - 20" x 29"

A sweet speckled hair/wool cross with a very short but silky soft coat and patches that lean more hair. Patched with goldenrod & madder dyed scraps from my stash & 100% cotton thread. This sheepskin was naturally veg tanned by me, and diverted from the waste stream of a butcher shop outside of Marion, NC. Approximate measurements taken from the leather side: 20" x 29" . 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.
