White Pelt Rug
Here at Shepherds Lane we not only produce premium fibers but also premium pelts and lambskins. As some of our sheep enter the food chain, we are mindful of each one and the part they play in the circle of life on a farm. It is in this spirit of respect that we preserve the essence of their being by harvesting these beautiful pelts and lambskins to be used and treasured for years to come. Each one is unique, no two are alike in character and color.
This pelt is off a crossbred and would make a nice addition to a room’s décor as a rug. The staple length is nice but this one is not soft and silky. The fiber is more “down” type and is a bit fuzzy. It is a good sized skin, measuring about 36 inches long. Fairly well shaped and no blemishes in the hide but notice one corner is longer than the other. The staple length is about four to five inches.
These are tanned in the USA to be washable however I don’t recommend that they be laundered in a washer as it is difficult to get them as soft and pliable again as they are now. They can be spot cleaned, dry cleaned, or cleaned by a furrier. From time to time I air mine outside and occasionally hang them up and mist the wool. Then air dry them out of the direct sunshine so they dry slowly and don’t stiffen. Also can be put in the dryer for a quick fluff. They really are easy to care for, are incredibly resilient, and will last for years if given a bit of care and respect.
The gift giving season will be upon us shortly and a high quality lambskin may be a great way to say you care to that special person in your life. If you have any questions or need help finding that special lambskin, get in touch with me please. I have quite a collection in the Studio and may have just what you have been dreaming of finding!
