Hailey
Harvested at the perfect time when the animal’s wool has become long enough that the locks begin to intertwine, but not so long that each lock tangles with the one beside it.
Size: 35” x 24.5”
What we love about it: The color. A true beautiful grey under the highlights.
Wool: Gotland, 3.5” length. So soft light grey wool.
Origin: Born & lovingly raised here at Living Sky Farm

THE PROCESS
These beautiful hides are tanned on our family farm in Indian Valley Idaho. The process is gentle and certified organic in England.
Why is there hay in my rug!!? In the sheep world it’s called “VM” or “vegetable matter”. The friendly process of taking each hide from the salted stage to a preserved rug leaves all the unique qualities of the animal intact. Bits of hay and seeds are a part of raising sheep. The most beautiful things in life aren’t always perfect. While we do our best to remove the big bits, removing it all would mean a completely different process that destroys what makes each hide unique.
THE SOURCE
Heritage hides are from sheep born here on the farm. Their original purpose is to supply our family and customers with meat. The moment lambs touch the ground they are cared for and shepherded in the most natural way possible.
