Hand-tanned Ramboulliet breed sheep hide

(hide sources from a shepard outside of Cortez, Colorado)

Tended with care and lots of time and attention

Tanned by hand using non-industrial methods, using emulsified fats, plkant tannins and days of physical softening and preening. Hair has been hand picked of debris, washed and brushed in some areas to clean— with the goal of maintaining some of the sectioned waves of the hide which occur naturally. This said, the animal was alive and lived outside. This one like others, will have some remnant debris. That said, sheep hides, especially longer haired ones pick up debris when being used so you will be tending them for years to come.

This one has shorter hair but is very thick and soft for lounging. The wool on this hide is dyed from the tannins used in the process and is a rich light brownish red color.

machine washable in cold water and on cold setting in the dryer. Air dry to complete. You may want to re-oil the skin side after washing a few times to keep skin soft and pliable.

size: 47 inches long in length and 33 in width at widest section
