Sheepskin
Sheepskin refers to raw hide obtained directly from the slaughter of goats, before undergoing further processing such as tanning.
This leather is a raw material containing collagen and has the potential to be processed into a variety of high-value products. Sheepskin has been used by humans for thousands of years to keep them warm, but our ancestors didn't just use sheepskin because it felt good and comfortable. More and more people are now realizing that sheepskin has special qualities that other natural materials don't possess. Sheepskin is naturally thermostatic, keeping bare feet close to your natural body temperature regardless of the outside temperature. This means that when you wear sheepskin, it automatically regulates your body temperature throughout the day. Because of this, sheepskin footwear can be worn year-round. Sheepskin is soft, warm, and very comfortable to wear. It doesn't irritate even the most sensitive skin. It provides warmth during winter and coolness during summer.
Sheepskin is a natural source of collagen, which is beneficial for health. Its texture is generally soft, smooth, and flexible. It also has elasticity, making it easy to use in various applications, such as making jackets or shoes.
Sheepskin is thinner and lighter than cowhide, making it more comfortable for everyday wear. Sheepskin varies in thickness, ranging from 0.4 mm to 0.6 mm, which affects the durability and comfort of the product.
Sheepskin can also be processed into food. With hygienic cleaning and processing, sheepskin can be processed into dishes such as gulai, soto, and savory and chewy skin satay.
