hi Carla, thanks for using natural! I am a re-upholsterer and have been wanting to go more natural but none of my suppliers offer very many natural materials. I’ve tried to find horse hair, coconut fiber and the like to use in my upholstery but haven’t been vary successful. (i’m in the united states) I’ve been wondering if I can use hemp fibern my upholstery. have you looked into that at all? thanks , Jan
Hi Jan,
I haven’t used hemp fiber in upholstery. I’m not sure what different forms that might take, but if the fibers are long enough, and not too heavy, it might work. This seems to be getting more into the ‘traditional’ side of upholstery, which is not a familiar process for me. Since you are an upholsterer, you might try Albany Foam, a wholesale supplier which has horsehair. I agree, it’s tough to find these fibers. Hopefully this will change for the better in the near future.
Thanks so much for your question!
Carla
