THREE (3) POUNDS of our BIG BLACK SHEEPSKIN CRAFTING PIECES

THREE (3) POUNDS of our BIG BLACK SHEEPSKIN PIECES!As leftover from our 23 yr old business - Just Merino Sheepskin (JMS) Products manufacturing company. We hand-trace and hand-cut our imported Australian Merino Sheepskin full hides to make over 100 products on our ranch - selling mostly to retailers and catalog companies. These pieces will vary in size and shape. Tell me what you are making and I will HAND-PICK the best pieces for your project at no additional charge!!These sections are nice for making baby booties, sheepskin slippers, boots, shoe insoles, doing furniture upholstery, slip-covers, motorcycle and carseat covers, footstools pads, you name it!! NOW YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN SHEARLING SLIPPERS or SHEEPSKIN PURSE! Save the $95.00 Macy's and Uggs will charge!!

This 3 pounds of sheepskin craft scraps sections average 3"- 6" wide by 4" - 8+ inches long. Some pieces even longer but might be skinnier. Just ONE pound if all sewn together would equal about one to one-half square feet of sheepskin. A full sheepskin hide usually cost $75.00 measures 9-10 square feet and weighs 3 lbs so in effect - your 3 lb purchase here is like buying one full sheepskin hide - only you have do a "Frankenstein" and sew the pieces together!These 3 lbs should net you a pair of slippers, or boots (you have to supply the pattern (hint: use an old pair). For a medium size vest get 9 lbs. For upholstery or motorcycle and carseat covers email about doubling or tripling your order.

We have customers who have used the sheepskin pieces for art supplies & craft supplies in Elementary, Middle school High School and Charter School classes, Sunday & Vacation Bible Schools, and Summer Camp art classes.
Scrapbook fans cut and glue sheepskin fuzzy picture frames, or scissor-sculpt hearts and shapes from the pieces to accent their photo pages; Miniature collectors decorate doll houses with handcut sheepskin rugs and chair pads; fishing enthusiatists sew a patch on their fishing vest to hold spare hooks.
Builders (Australian's and myself included) have stuffed the interior walls of homes/businesses with the scraps for building insulation. (Although I recommend our smaller craft pieces sold in seperate auction for insulation use.) (It makes an excellent insulation and sound-proofing material; bugs don't like it, and it's one of the rare natural materials that is listed as NON-FLAMMABLE, - meaning sheepskin/wool does not hold a flame
For comfort you can't beat real sheepskin fibers! With the one-inch wool pile it is the optimum for providing beneficial, HEALING air-flow, while padding and cushioning delicate skin. Proven to prevent bedsores in invalids and to provide a longer, deeper sleep for everyone from babies to adults when used under the patient for a medical sheepskin, or medical pad, or bed underlay, bed pad. MAKES EXCELLENT SHEEPSKIN SEAT COVERS FOR MOTORCYCLES & CARS!! Use it to pad arm rests, chairs, beds, straps, etc. It is the only healthy, natural alternative to fake fleece!Older animals love our sheepskin pieces for the same cushioning comfort - buy it for a PET BED! Plus, we've had owners of Monkey's, Ferrets, Cats, and Dogs share cute stories about how much their beloved companions loved to sleep on their pet bed pads, or play with the sheepskin pieces. Animals just seem to sense it is real and natural and love our sheepskin PET TOYS!For a sewing person, these craft pieces could be sewn together to make one fantastic bed pad, quilt, quilting materials, quilting fabric, or a very necessary arm chair cover. For Clothes, you can make sheepskin gloves, hats, vests, coats, slippers or boots. Use the small pieces and wool fluff as natural stuffing in pillows! (Or, you can bookmark Moms-hobby name and watch for our upcoming auctions for the smaller sheepskin craft pieces!!!)I can go on with the many uses of real sheepskin: One lady sews it as detailing on her teddy bear motif sweatshirts. Another wood-worker uses it for applying stains and painting. Auto collectors love the sheepskin for polishing and cleaning. (Hint, you can glue pieces to the ends of popsicle sticks and clean the tight, small areas in your car's interior, chrome and tires!) Leatherworkers, and horse owners LOVE how thoroughly sheepskin cleans their saddles and applies stains to their leather projects, or line a gun case and, we've received RAVE reviews from horse owners praising our sheepskin pads for helping their Geldings & Stallions 'relax' during cleanings!The flexibility of real sheepskin is phenominal! It can be cut into shapes with a razor knife or scissors. You can sculpt a three dimensional heart or any shape out of it's wool fibers. It can be hand or machine sewn, glued, stapled, the wool fibers trimmed off and spun to make yarn, pounded to make felt, or shaved to expose the leather for even more creative Rennaisance type accessories. Oh, and don't forget you can make your own tack, halters, and saddle pads for Model Horses, like Breyer and Grand Champion, etc!!So, after all that, our pelts do cost ALOT and buying by the pound you are getting a BARGAIN! We import the full hide from Australia (Australians eat sheep - like we eat beef and using the woolskins lets nothing go to waste.) Way over there, the sheepskin is grown, tanned, colored, and finished to it's luxurious thick texture. Then we pay BIG BUCKS to have it shipped by sea or air to the U.S. where we pay again for longshoremen to off-load it from the ships. Next, we pay Import fees & Brokers & Truckers to deliver it to our offices in Southern Arizona. Lot's of work by an international crew to get me and you THE BEST IN SHEEPSKIN Quality!!Again, you are buying 3 lbs of our solid BLACK color.
