The subtle gradations of color on this sheepskin are really special. I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating—I find this particular color combination to seem exceptionally sweet and comforting. The fibers on this are nice and soft and are a great length—long and dense enough to insulate you from the ground, but not so long that leaves and dirt and debris will get all tangled in it. I know not everyone loves the markings on the sheepskins, but I do. The paint is used by shepherds to mark their flocks and serves as a reminder that this sheepskin was once a living being. It feels simultaneously honest and magical to me. This sheepskin was bark-tanned with love and devotion by me, and the leather came out exceptionally beautifully. 45x27”
When measuring, I measured down the middle for both length and width. Some parts of the hide will be longer and some will be shorter. I measured the leather side. Fiber often extends beyond the leather.
I live with dogs, so please consider that if you are extremely allergic. These hides will become softer with time and use. I wash and comb these sheepskins multiple times, but you will still find pieces of organic matter in them once in a while—it’s impossible to get it all out! They will also smell like lanolin to some degree or another, which not everyone is used to. You can wash them sparingly (if you’d like more info on this, check out my faq). If you ever decide you don’t want this hide, please compost it or leave it to decay into the woods—don’t throw it in a landfill!
