Sheepskin Leather hide. Please read complete description!
I sell 2 kinds of leather full hides. One is a soft lambskin and the other, this listing,  a heavier sheep hide. Both can be sewn with a home sewing machine outfitted with a leather needle and a walking or teflon foot
(I also sell a heavier, chrome tanned top grained cow leather in smaller sections.) All are outstanding for use in Ecoprinting or Botanical printing. The sheepskin and lambskin are also popular with re-enactors and renaissance fair participants :-)
The sheepskin edges are left rough. These hides are larger than the lambskin hides I sell, and average .035” to .044” in thickness or 1.1 to 1.4 ounces. Each averages 5.5-6.5 square feet in area. All are off-white in color with a grayish tinge. They are NOT pure white as no additional finish has been applied in the tanning process to fabricate pure white! These are what make it perfect for the imprinting processes of ecoprinting and botanical printing! The unfinished edges of these hides have also proven popular with those who participate in historical or fantasy re-enactments. There is no hair on these hides.
Sizes and thickness may vary slightly due to size variations in the animals. The grain side of the leather is NOT finished with any dyes, embossing or additional processes thus they are not a processed white. 
Because these are hides, they may not be uniformly perfect! Imperfections on the surface of each may be possible but will not affect your work with them. There may be small holes or cuts but none will be in the middle of the piece! Most hides will have a small stamp mark on the flesh side. Please note that the tanning process may, under certain lights, give a slight gray cast to the hide. That does NOT affect whatever you do with the leather so I have listed it as off-white. 
This leather can also be used in a Cricut, Big Shot or Silhouette machine.

I work with a lot of leather in my art and this leather is ideal for use in  bookmaking, handbags, shoes, linings, quilt tops, clothing and similar leather crafts. The leather is strong, yet supple and can be sewn using your home sewing machine. Just use a leather needle and a walking foot. I use both sheep hides and the cowhide in my workshops and my retail pieces. 

*Please note that any pure white leather sold on the market has had the addition of a finish added to the grain side (such as you find in cars or leather furniture) The "feel" is much harder than this softer leather which has NO finish.
If you have questions about the two hides, ask me first!
