Step by Step sheep skin preparation

Submitted by Andrew Discombe on 4/29/02. ( discombe@mail.kapunda.net ) 203.38.128.35

I am going to butcher a lamb and would like to use the fleece as a seat cover. Therefore I require a step by step method to prepare the fleece so that it is suitable. I would like the skin to be white in colour and soft. nay help would be very much appreciated as this is the first time I have considered using the skin after butchering. Thanks A.D
