TAURUS ~Wild Leather TraditionallyTanned Sheepskin
Wild Crafted by me, Raised by Nature.
TAURUS is a stunning, unique, Icelandic hide, naturally tanned, using barktan methods, organically reared and hand made leather sheepskin.
The hide is 120cm x 85cm.
Honouring the life of the sheep and the ancient art of hide tanning by bringing back the spirit of the animal through this endangered craft.
The colours of the wool are exceptional firery copper curls!
This sheepskin would make the perfect fireside rug, within a yurt, tipi or shepherds hut. Also draped over the sofa, or perhaps by the bedside. I also have customers who use these for wild camping as they are do much warmer than synthetic and very light to carry. They have also been used for horse saddle mats and cool motorbike seat covers!
*Note: This is a traceable hide, ethically reared and not mass produced. It has been carefully cured, tanned, stretched and oiled by my own hands using traditional, ancient methods and no chemicals or machines. The sheepskin will also have a more tangible, aged and rustic look and feel to it as this is not a commercially produced product. This is a rare and disappearing craft that I hope finds it’s way into your home!
CARE
The hide can be sponge cleaned with natural soaps or if you're lucky enough to get snow, clean the wool side in fresh snow. Do not put in the washing machine. If the hide gets wet on the leather side, drip dry and stretch back to shape while drying.
