Description

Our sheep skins are one-of-a-kind premium pelts from heritage lambs.  They are processed at a professional tannery and come branded with the Faerie Road Farm logo on the back.   Their leather is supple, the wool is fine & soft.  They are washable with some care and can last a lifetime.  Handwashing instructions will be included or the can be sent back to the tannery to be professionally cleaned.  These are handmade boutique items, not mass produced.  As such there are irregularities in size and shape, and they occasionally have small holes from the production process. These birthmarks should not decrease enjoyment or durability/life of the pelt.  Imperfections are noted in the descriptions and reflected in pricing.

NOTES FOR ALL PELTS
Softness Every pelt is next-to-skin soft, none are itchy, but textures vary from fluffy cloud to lustrous to silky
Measurements  Width is taken at the widest part of the belly, length is total length from neck to tips of back legs. To get a sense of size, fold a towel to the dimensions. “Standard” is mid-range size that most come out.  Anything different is noted.
Length of wool (called staple) is the length when pulled straight.  If there is a range, the shorter fibers will be in the center of the pelt and the longer fibers on the outskirts.
Price is determined by size, quality and desirability of the pelt, as well as the time and energy that goes into breeding, raising lambs, salting , drying and shipping pelts and the cost to produce them.  We cannot compete with commercial skins which come out of the international meat industry and are bulk shipped to China for processing.  When you purchase one of our pelts you are not just buying a product, you are directly supporting small-scale animal husbandry and regenerative farming.  Thank you.
