Upholstery Honey

Lambskin for upholstery comes from Australian Merino sheep that live in open air and free range conditions. The skins are a by-product of the meat and wool industry, and in collaboration with our partners, we select the skins with the best curls and firm wool &ndash a perfect choice for any piece of furniture. Our lambskins are tanned and dyed in Turkey. At Sipo you can buy exactly the lambskins you need for the piece of furniture you’re upholstering, and if you’re unsure about sewing them together, we can do that for you too. As long as we receive a model of the upholstery, with fitting marks and without seam allowances. Immediately upon receipt, we will give you a price for sewing together including skins. Each hide measures a minimum of 7.5/8.0 square feet and the wool is sheared between 17 and 20 mm to provide the optimal curl and resistance to use. There is a slight difference in shade from skin to skin, even in the same color. Under normal use, lambskin is maintenance-free as the wool’s natural lanolin content makes it almost impervious to dirt. The wool will retain its elasticity for years and remain fresh and inviting. You can’t avoid spilling something on the skin from time to time, but it won’t easily penetrate the wool. Therefore, you can usually get by with letting the skin dry and then brushing/vacuuming it clean. If the wool is not completely clean, you can wash out the dirt with water and then dry and brush. Lanolin is the wool’s secret and defense against dirt. Therefore, we do not recommend the use of harsh detergents and heavy-duty washing.
