Toscana lambskin |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Toscana lambskin, recognized by its long wool and luxurious feel has become a fashion must have to many. As the skins are small many garments made with toscana sheepskin will have a lot of seams! A full length coat can take as many as a couple of dozen sheepskins. I enjoy using the toscana sheepskin for trimming sheepskin hats and sheepskin bags as it looks very pretty where the wool breaks open as it turns around the edge. Gilets with natural edges are very popular and I also hope to be offering a collection of toscana sheepskin scarves and collars with the same natural look |

Brisa Sheepskin |
|
Brisa or tipped is the term used for sheepskin to describe the light tipping on the ends of the wool that gives the attractive two tone appearance.Toscana brisa sheepskin is particularly pretty. |
|
|
Tone/tone Sheepskin |
|
Tone/tone is the term used for sheepskin that has a solid color wool with the same shade of suede or nappa finish. |
|
|
|
Black and brown sheepskin are usually available in brisa and tone/tone. Beige and pale pink sheepskin are often available in tone/tone. Many other lovely colours come and go so if you are looking for a particular colour please contact me and I’ll see what I can find at the time. |

Nappalan finish |
|
Nappalan finish on sheepskin is not a true nappa leather as that would be finished from the wool side of the skin. A man made nappalan finish is applied to the inside to give the appearance and feel of nappa leather. This can sometimes revert to a suede finish with wear! |
|
|
|
Merino is a top quality sheepskin sometimes referred to as Spanish lamb. It is usually available to me in black and brown brisa and tone/tone and beige tone/tone. Soft, fairly large skins with a suede finish. Nappa finish is sometimes available. |

|
Mongolian lamb is the very long wool curly sheepskin that has become another extremely popular fashion must have for bags, scarves, collars and trimming. It is also used for cushions and rugs. The range of colors available varies but there is usually quite a good choice. I use the mongolian lamb mainly for fluffy bags scarves and trimming hats and handbags. It is sometimes available with what is known as a degrade finish where the wool is a dark shade at one end of the skin and a light shade at the other. See my wine/pink degrade mongolin lamb bag. |

|
Icelandic Sheepskin |
|
Icelandic sheepskins are often quite large allowing jackets and gilets to be made with less seams. The jungle icelandic has a mottled shaded effect in the dyeing. I plan to add a colour chart for the icelandic sheepskin when I know the new seasons colours |
|
|
Shearling |
|
Shearling is sheepskin from a sheep that has only been shorn once. I do not tend to use this term myself as I feel it can often be used incorrectly. |
|
|
I am also often able to provide leather supplies for small quantities suitable for your own craft ideas. |
