Horizon
When I walk to the barn in the morning to milk the cows I’m often fortunate enough to time it just as the sun peaks over the hill. The mountains that surround our little valley light up one by one like a string of lights. I never grow tired of it.
Size: 47” x 27”
What we love about it: The older hides are large with thick backs that show the imperfections of age.
Wool: long Karakul strong wool. 4” wool on the belly and 7” on the legs.
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.
