    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.

    The B grade unborn calf skins are medium-sized skins that may have some holes and scratches. They come in a mix of colors and measure about 4 to 5 sq. ft. The hair length on these calf skins is very short - less than ½” long.

    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 called Eucalan for the perfect cleaner.

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