| Winter pelts are usually the softest and fullest. Pelts can be used for wall hangings, crafts, rugs, clothing, and soft cushions for hard chairs. You could also take pieces from different colored pelts and sew together into patterns. Tanning the hides yourself can be labor intensive but is less expensive than having professionally tanned; however, the softness professional taxidermists can achieve may make choosing the more expensive option worth while. ALL pictures below were professionally tanned - a choice made by the owners of the sheep. |

YES, it is as soft as it looks!
| This ram was white with black spots. Notice how the black has turned brown with northern cold winter coat and age. This pelt was brushed and really cleaned to make it as soft as possible. GORGEOUS! |
| NOTE how shiny this pelt is! Stunning in black! Compliments of a Black Hawaiian Ram |
