Please note that this website is a massive legacy site without a shopping cart. We are in the process of migrating to our e-commerce website at NaturalExotics.com

We sort our ermine skins into different sizes and grades based on quality. We measure from the tip of the nose to the end of the tail (i.e., the entire length of the skin and tail).  They do not have the feet and claws attached. Each ermine skin weighs ~1 oz (28.4 gm).

The select ermine skins we offer are select soft-cased skins that have a nice natural white color without extensive yellowing, holes, or short tails.

The #1 ermine skins are full skins of good quality that are natural white with some creaminess. They are not clear white.

The #2 ermine skins are full skins with small problems such as hair slips, small tears and more yellow discoloration.

The craft grade skins have more serious problems such as more gray hair, more extensive yellowing and more hair slips.  Click HERE to see a picture of the yellowed ermine.

The gray backs are ermine that have started to change into their summer coat and have a grayish or brownish coloring on the back. They are approximately 14" to 18" long.

If you want to make something using the ermine skins, the useable material on 13/14" skins is approximately 1.25" to 1.5" wide on the back for prime material and is about 8.25" to 8.5" from behind the ears to the butt.  There are approximately 10" to 12" square inches of prime material per skin.  If you use the sides and bellies, you can sew the leg holes shut and almost double the useable material.  The bellies, however, can be a bit weaker in fur coverage, have a bit of yellowing, and/or have hints of brown, so take this into account when doing your calculations.
