Pergamena Parchment Goatskin, Dyed Prepared
This dyed goatskin parchment from Pergamena comes prepared and ready for you to start creating. Each piece features a stunning, one-of-a-kind color profile, perfect for adding character to projects like calligraphy, bookbinding, botanical illustrations, or block prints. Handmade and bespoke, this parchment is truly exclusive, offering a limited-edition touch to your work. 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.
About Pergamena:
With a history dating back to 1550 in Germany, Pergamena is a family-owned tannery now based in New York’s Hudson River Valley. Led by Jesse Meyer, the company honors its centuries-old leather and parchment traditions while embracing sustainable innovations. Using animal hides that are byproducts of the food industry, Pergamena minimizes waste and chemical intervention, producing high-quality parchment and leather free of heavy metals. Their commitment to reducing water usage and environmental impact ensures that every product reflects both craftsmanship and eco-consciousness.
Parchment is a natural material, so each piece is one of a kind. We cannot guarantee specific colors, patterns, or markings. The images shown are suggested representations and will differ from the actual piece you receive.
