Pergamena Parchment Goatskin, Character Prepared

V202. Pergamena Parchment Goatskin, Character Prepared.

This goatskin parchment from Pergamena comes prepared and ready for you to start creating. Character parchment pieces feature a wide variety of grain, color, and texture from piece to piece. Choose from sizes 3 x 4, 5 x 7, or 8 x 10. Some sizes are cut to order and may require additional processing time.

Why choose goatskin? Goat parchment is sturdier than calf or sheep, making it ideal for applications requiring durability, such as bookbinding, large format printing, and furniture like lampshades and chairs. With its prominent grain and a range of colors from warm cream and stark white to grays and blacks, goatskin offers both resilience and aesthetic versatility.
