Another customer question for Kevin!
I plan on making my grandfather a pair of rabbit fur mittens. I was wondering if the rabbit hides you sell are real and if they are the same color as wild rabbit? Also I’m not sure how many hides I’ll need for this job. I know how to do this, but any advice you can offer is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Here’s what Kevin had to say:
Hello Aaron,
Our rabbit hides are indeed real, and we have ones called “natural” which are the color of a rabbit in the wild.
Keep in mind that the actual skin of the rabbit is very thin, and not tough at all. It might be difficult to make a durable pair of mittens from it. You might have to make the mittens out of cowhide that are lined with rabbit…. In any case, you’d need no more than 4 at the most.
Thanks,
Kevin
