HERON - WILD LEATHER SHEEPSKIN

Wild Crafted by me, Raised by Nature.
 
HERON is a beautiful, dense multicoloured icelandic x shetland sheepskin, naturally and traditionally tanned over many hours, using ancestral bark tan methods, organically reared and hand made leather sheepskin. 
 
The hide is 130 x 90 cm. The colours reflect the colour of the Heron, my most favourite bird. A silvery grey base with black and edges of firery copper with beautiful curls. The length of the wool is long and lucious.  The hide weighs over 2kg so see shipping below. 
 
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. 
 
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 so 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!
 
This hide is over 2kg
