Felted sheep fleeces, or more commonly known as vegetarian rugs, are 100% wool. No leather. The sheep is still alive, and living his or her best life on the farm. Instead of having the back as leather, I process and card our wool to make a backing on a sheared fleece. I used a combination of wet felting and needle felted to lock it onto the sheared fleece. The finished product is what appears to be just old a leather sheepskin, but is made entirely of wool! Each fleece sold will have the name and information of the sheep included.
prices range from $100-$300.
How does this work? Deposit holders are notified first (in the order in which you placed your deposit) and get first chance at any sheepskin offered for sale BEFORE anyone else does! You can provide the dimensions, color or style you are looking for and Bethany can keep that in mind when choosing sheepskins from the butcher. When it is your turn, you can pass if the sheepskin is not exactly what you are looking for, and then it is offered to the next person in line, and so on. Deposit holders will be notified via email and have 24 hours to claim the sheepskin. If they do not respond, I will move on to the next person. If they want the sheepskin, they have 24 hours to send payment upon receipt of invoice. If I do not receive payment, I’ll move on to the next person. I cannot hold hides and wait for payments for days.
If all the waitlister’s pass on the sheepskin, it is offered to the public via instagram and Facebook. This is a great way to make sure that you do not miss out on sheepskins, because they do sell quickly!
