Does anyone know of a seller of high quality Jacob sheepskins?  I made a
terrible mistake the other day and lost the use of my Jacob pelts for
tanning.  I had two fresh pelts from the butcher's shop, but I couldn't get
them salted right away.  I folded them with the fleece on the outside and
put them in a cool room.  Big mistake.  Two days later the wool pulled away
from the skins.  I salvaged the wool, but was told that I would never get
the stink out of it so don't make a scarf or anything to wear around the
face.  I might get away with knitting a pair of socks for someone with
stinky feet anyway,,,,,  
Anyway, I owe a friend a sheepskin, but don't want to give her the ones I
have.  I am interested in purchasing a nice black/white sheepskin or two;
not spotted, but blended black and white to replace the ones I lost.
Remember, salt those fresh pelts immediately!.
Thanks,
