Long-wool dyed 'seconds' sheepskins from British-reared lambs. The main reasons for the 'seconds' quality are the non-standard sizes, and assorted colouring. We are selling all the shades of a particular hue as a single colour, the price reflects the variations.
You'll find that any flaws (if there are any) will vary, they may include slight discoloration in the dye or very tiny holes in the skin on the back, or they could be slightly misshapen. Most will not have any imperfections at all, they will just not be our usual standard sizes! We have included examples of the shades of colour in the images. The fleece length various from rug to rug anything from 4 cm to 9 cm.
Our seconds are a by-product of the food industry where the animals are farmed in an ethical and sustainable environment here in the UK. If we did not utilise this natural resource in our modern 'chrome-free' tannery, they would be disposed of.
These sheepskins vary between 80 cm to 100 cm long x approximately 50 to 63 cm wide (this varies as every sheepskin is unique and 'seconds' are from different breeds of sheep).
Grown and tanned in the UK.
To clean - take it outside and give it a good shake and a brush with our bamboo sheepskin brush Brush regularly to help maintain and bring out the best in the wool fibres.
Spot cleaning is recommended but can be carefully machine washed ( subject to machine size ) if needed at 30c on a wool program using wool-recommended detergent. Allow to dry naturally. Easy Sheepskin Care instructions are here
