Sheepskin collar #6

Extra long curly white sheepskin collar with 12" long chestnut tanned deer suede ties. This one has a small blue/green mark on the back from marking paint used by the shepherds - it may fade with time, but is kinda cute! This larger style is worn on the shoulders.This sheepskin was tanned naturally, from a sheep raised by Blackthorn Farm & Kitchen in Sandy Mush NC. --- My sheepskins are tanned with mimosa (Acacia mearnsii) tannin extract, with additional ingredients used in the process including: salt, citric acid, soap, and distilled vinegar. They are softened with sheep tallow soap, sunflower seed lecithin, and sunflower oil. Because the tanning and washing process I use does not involve harsh petroleum-derived solvents, and instead mostly handwork, the wool may contain seeds or small pieces of leaves and other vegetable matter, and it may also retain a faint smell of sheep and bark. Enjoy it! To care for this hide, air it out often. You can handwash with warm water and soap and
