Bark Tanned Sheepskin | Woven Yoga Rug/Runner
Bark Tanned Sheepskin | Woven Yoga Rug/Runner
Our one-of-a-kind woven rugs can be used for everyday decor or as yoga/meditation rugs. They are made with over 10 different types of naturally tanned sheepskin woven together by Renewed Traditions*. They measure at least 68” in length and is over 30” wide. The rugs give off the gentle smell of lanolin, wool, and bark tannin. The sheepskin woven into this rug are naturally both hypoallergenic and antibacterial.
*Renewed Traditions (Roberta Barham, a Driftless Region weaver) continues generations of Swedish craftsmanship, using her grandfather’s rug loom. She uses 8/4 ply 100% cotton warp with a 24”-27” width. The Tannery’s yoga rugs are made with the trimmings from naturally tanned sheepskin, thus reducing landfill waste and producing a beautiful, functional, comfortable mat for energizing our bodies!
Thank you so much for looking, and for supporting our journey into natural tanning. Our hides are handmade labors of love, from the fleshing stage, to washing, tanning and final stretching and buffing. It is an honor and pleasure to support the efforts of our farmers and butchers or rescue these items from the waste bin and turn them into beautiful, heirloom quality home goods.
