Found this on google on how to............. 'Sheepskin rugs are made from the hides of mature sheep. The fluffy fleece remains attached to the skin, creating a soft, comfy surface that cushions the feet. While sheepskin is available in a variety of colours, you can also dye it at home. A natural fibre, sheepskin responds well to the acid-based dyes. Wool and leather are made primarily of protein, which breaks down by exposure to acid, allowing the dye to penetrate the surface. You can easily dye small rugs in a bucket, while larger rugs will require a more spacious container, such as a plastic dustbin.' Instructions and advice on the link below. If you try it, let us know the results. Just a thought, try phoning Belinda at Courtlee numnahs, she's helpful and might be able to give you more advice. 07918 070202 www.ehow.com/how_12215207_dye-lambskin-leather.htmlMight be worth a try!

Talking of numnah's Belinda has a great Courtlea branded cream to keep the leather soft and supple, lasts for quite a long time as well. Our numnah is as soft and supple as the day we bought it.
