I am so enamored with this sheepskin. The fibers are silky and wave-y. The range of colors is stunning—blacks, greys, browns, and then some white spots thrown in! I have never tanned one like this before and won’t be upset if it stays with me. There are bald spots on the sides—one is fairly large and one is about the size of a quarter. I photographed the large one, but couldn’t re-find the smaller one. The price of this sheepskin is significantly lower that it would be without the bald spots (even though you can arrange the wool so the bald spots are not visible). There are also two tiny-holes on the leather-side of the skin. This sheepskin was bark-tanned with love and devotion by me. 51”x30”
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!
