This
large pale gray shearling is
from an older animal who started life black and
changed to gray. Summer sun has faded the wool
even more on the outer surface, but you can see
a pleasant medium gray underneath, as in the close-up
below. This pelt measures 34 inches side to side,
and over 50 inches from head to tail. There is
one small cut in the leather almost in the middle
of the hide, but you can't see or feel it from
the wool side. Soft and cushiony, the wool is
about 1.5 inches long.

This natural two-tone,
curly Cotswold sheepskin is stunning. Taken
from a Cotswold cross lamb two months after shearing,
this sheepskin sports bright silver and gunmetal
gray on the same pelt. The wool is shiny and silky-soft.
Very lovely and unique from the other pelts I have
- the only one like it this year. |

These natural white, curly
wool sheepskins are produced by shearing
Cotswold lambs 2-3 months prior to slaughter.
This allows enough time for the wool to grow to
a length of 2-3 inches and take on the characteristic
curls the Cotswolds are so well known for.
The wool is bright white and shiny. Curl texture
is loose, open and silky, providing not a whole
lot of cushioning effect, but a really handsome
and unique look and feel. |

These natural white,
long curly wool sheepskins are produced
by shearing Cotswold lambs 5-6 months prior to slaughter.
This allows enough time for the wool to grow to
a length of 5-6 inches and really show the lustrous
curls and fiber length the Cotswolds are so well
known for. The wool is bright white and shiny.
Curl texture is looser and more open than the shorter
curly pelts above. Very silky with a beautiful and
unique look and feel. |

These
extra long, silky white sheepskins are amazing.
Taken from Cotswold lambs in full fleece, the wool
is a full 8 inches long, shiny and silky. They are
completely free of matts or tangles. They are not
as densely cushiony and utilitarian as some of the
other pelts we offer, but are beautiful and luxurious
to the touch. Special and uncommon.

These
naturally dark, long wool sheepskins are
very close to black, but contain some strands of
gray fiber, and/or have some brown on the fiber
ends. These skins have not been dyed, and are exactly
as the sheep grew them.
Because the animals were from long wooled breeds,
the wool is generally 5+ inches long, quite lustrous,
and silky feeling. Beautiful! |

These
natural white long wool sheepskins are much
like the dark versions except for the color. These
are what I call "warm whites" - they are shades of
ivory and eggshell as the sheep grew them, not bleached
to snow white.
They're very silky and soft to the touch. Wool is
about 5" long. |

These
natural dark sheepskins are from medium wooled
sheep, which means that the wool is shorter,about
2 1/2- 3 " long, and grows more densely per square
inch.
This gives a very resilient cushioning effect. The
wool is not as lustrous as the long wools, and has
a more matte appearance.
Shades of dark vary slightly from almost black to
more brownish due to the sun fading the tips of the
fibers. These 2 examples show relatively solid dark
brown, and a more sun-kissed pelt with highlights.
Variance is minimal, however please let me know if
you would prefer as solid a dark as possible vs. highlights
being preferred. I can always send pictures before
a pelt is sent. *The close-up pic at bottom is too
light - dang camera kept washing the color out and
I"m too inept to correct it with Photoshop, but
you can see the texture is thick and dense. |
