This sheepskin is not technically golden. It is probably not even the closest in color to gold that I’ve tanned. It just feels so luminous and luxurious and has sort of an understated beauty—until you get nice and close. Then it is stunning. The fibers are so soft and dense and plush. This sheepskin was bark-tanned with love and devotion by me. Please note the two tears that I repaired with red thread. 47x27.5”
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 this one in particular has a lot of sawdust entangled in the fibers. Most of it will shake out over time, but it’s impossible to get it all out at once. 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!
