Hand-tanned Churro sheep hide tanned by Kelly Moody in Paonia, Colorado

Tended with care and lots of time and attention

Tanned by hand using non-industrial methods, using emulsified fats, woodsmoke and days of physical softening and preening. Hair has been hand picked of debris, washed and brushed in some areas to clean— with the goal of maintaining some of the sectioned waves of the hide which occur naturally. This said, the animal was alive and lived outside. This one like others, will have some remnant debris. That said, sheep hides, especially longer haired ones pick up debris when being used so you will be tending them for years to come.

machine washable in cold water and on cold setting in the dryer. Air dry to complete.

size: 41 inches long in length and 2 feet in width
