Description
Kelly Green lambskin leather with an even pebble grain, from our Floater article. The grain is embossed into a soft, light semi-veg tanned lambskin, so it has a little more body than a plain chrome lamb while still sewing, skiving and folding easily, and the raised texture keeps the hide looking good through everyday handling. Whole hides come in 8, 9 or 10 sq. ft. at 0.8-1.0 mm (2-2.5 oz.).
Why Choose This Kelly Green Lambskin Leather
- Even embossed pebble grain – a consistent texture from one hide to the next
- Semi-veg tannage gives a firmer hand than a plain chrome lambskin, so panels hold their shape
- 0.8-1.0 mm substance that drapes, folds and sews on a domestic machine
- Large 8-10 sq. ft. whole hides for bigger pattern pieces and less waste
- The pebble grain helps hide scuffs and everyday wear
Best Uses for Kelly Green Pebble Lambskin
- Jackets, vests, skirts and soft garment work
- Handbags, totes, clutches and pouches
- Shoe uppers, slippers and footwear trim
- Gloves, hats, belts and accessories
- Wallets, card cases and small leather goods
- Costume and wardrobe work for film, TV and theatre
Working With Pebble Grain Lambskin
At 0.8-1.0 mm this lambskin sews well on a domestic or light industrial machine with a size 80/12 to 90/14 leather needle and a slightly longer stitch, so the needle holes do not weaken the seam. A walking foot or a non-stick foot helps it feed evenly on the grain side; hold layers with clips rather than pins, since pin holes stay in leather. Avoid pressing the face with a hot iron – heat can flatten an embossed grain – and use a low setting through a press cloth if a seam needs setting.
