Bucks County Fur Products in Quakertown PA does washable Sheepskins. They use our EZ-100 tanning agent! Give Tom Kline a call at: (215) 536-6614.

The trick with tanning Sheepskins is properly degreasing them of the Lanolin in the Wool - and using an Ironing or Combing machine to open up the Wool. Doing it by hand is simply much too labor intensive, and besides being slow, doesnt produce the same results as the machines can.
