Most sheep skins are sold as wool on hides and they are much larger in size than lambs leathers, if the hide has no wool you can tell the difference by examining the grain structure of a lambs skin compared to a sheep skin leather hide. The sheep leather will not be as fine as the lambs, sheep leather has a bigger grain pattern to it.
