Bron, I'm worried about the skin, and wool "slippage" which means wool fluffing off over time because the foillicles have gotten, I dunno, yanked too hard or too wet and rotted... Something in my memory is tugging at me that these are not supposed to get so wet.And neatsfoot without tanning? Won't it rot? I know neatsfoot on tanned leather will let it rot eventually...
I'm worrying over your lovely sheepskins because what you did sounds so different from what I have been assured must be done. May be fine. But... well, may not!
