    Quantity:

    These are chrome-tanned, unborn, or prematurely born calf skins, often called either slink skins or slunk skins. The hide side is soft and supple.

    Large slink skins arelate stage unborn calves with longer hair, up to 3/4". The skins average about 5 to 6 square feet.

    We can also supplyslink skins inrawhide for parchment and vellum.

    There are no export controls from CITES or USFWS.

    The skins are an accident of nature. The calves were not killed just for their skins.

    To clean your calf skin, first use a brush in the direction of the hair (not against the knap) to remove loose dirt. Then wet the skin with a damp cloth. Apply a very small amount of shampoo and rub with the hair. Brush gently with the hair. Wipe with clean water until the soap suds are gone. When it dries, the skin will be hard. Rub and stretch the hide with your hands to soften it again.

    See our wool and fur cleaner calledEucalan for the perfect cleaner.

    Slink skins can be used for making Eskimo mukluk vamps (tops), boot tops, furniture and table coverings and small rugs.
