My Llanwenogs cost about £45  done by Nicki organically.

We tried doing one in the summer ourselves following directions found on the net.  we obviously failed at the drying stage as it said to hang it outside and keep stretching it as it dried so that it remained pliable, ours stayed wet for several days and then dried all of a sudden over the space of a few hours which we didn't notice so it is very rigid    so have put it in front of the fire for the dogs to lie on and they loooooove it but its not suitable for human usage.  Not sure I can be bothered to go through it all again, we'll see.

I did rabbit skins with stuff from eBay. Went fine then the dog chewed them all up!

Skye Skyns round the corner from us here do it - not sure how much though.
The ones in their showroom are lovely.

I've watched that series on the iPlayer! Bit far away for me I think?

Did some a few years ago - doing was the main cost! I like Nicki Port for being so helpful and having more eco friendly processes. But you do pay for it.

Other one was Devonia - are they still going?? I hear something different every time they are mentioned. The fleece came back nice but the skin was very thin and had a few nips out of the edge. Fine for me but not for a perfectionist buyer, for example.

I tried rabbit skins myself, ended up with rabbit planks 
I did come across a Wales-based taxidermy company that sold tanning kits, but didn't get around to buying.

Just send them royal mail -  costs the same wherever in the country you are posting just depends on size and weight...

Isn't postage to Islands and Highlands alot more expensive??

Will google it :-)

[westcoastcroft]

Not via royal mail its the same anywhere in the country determined by size, weight, speed and if you want proof of delivery i.e. signed for etc.
Although commercial senders often claim its more for them, but I'm pretty sure the same is true for bulk senders.
Obviously not the best solution in environmental terms but cost should be fixed.

Thanks, have emailed them for more info. The organic place hasn't replied yet....

Obviously no rush as the lambs I want doing are just being born, I just want to be prepared with all the right paperwork and timings.
