Here you find fine parchment skins to attractive prices as well as detailed informations about the production, history and contemporary use of this interesting material. The parchment skins were exclusively made by hand from finest goat skins. We offer whole skins, which have not been cut. The size therefore depends on the race of the goats, the age and their gender. The best skins are made from a small race of African oasis goats. Remnants of the natural hair give the skins their specific and unique look.

 Strenght of the parchment: parchment made from oasis goats is usually very fine and therefore very suitable to finer parchment works like calligraphy and book binding. It measures between 0,16 and 0,40mm. For those who don´t have a gauge to measure at hand, there are easy ways to get an idea of the material. A normal page of A4 paper (80g/m2) has a strenght of 0,08mm. Therefore the thinnest offered parchment has a strengh comparable to two pages. Three to four combined sheets of paper equal the normally offered parchment, while five pages are as thick as the strongest offered parchment skins.
