Bark Tanned Icelandic Sheepskin | Mercury

This is our first year with bark tanned hides and wow! What a difference! The leather and fleece are so soft!

Lose yourself in 7-9" locks of gently brushed Icelandic lamb fleece. The outer tog is charcoal with mahogany accents. The soft, fine inner coat, called the thel, is silver. The fleece on this hide is so beautiful!

The soft, supple leather measures 26" x 36". There are three small holes measuring less than 1" and one 2.75" x1.5" hole from fleshing that are well hidden by the thick fleece.

Our hides are naturally bark tanned by an incredible small tannery in our home state of Wisconsin. This results in a softer leather and fleece. Our sheep are raised with love, and for the few destined for the freezer, we honor their lives by using the whole animal.
