Cowhides and lambskins are popular today for home decor and comfort. I see lambskins used in cribs and car seats for the comfort and warmth of our little ones, and I love that the long held use of these skins is coming back into vogue. Back in the day, before diapers, lambskins were used under babies when sleeping to catch urine, because they are so absorbent. So, not exactly what they’re used for today, but hey, it’s close.
