    Moleskine sketchbooks are widely considered the pinnacle of art paper by many artists. I've never used it, but it has a fantastic reputation.

    Moleskin is a densely woven synthetic microfiber with a suede-like nap on the fabric's right side.  Among other things, it can be used to make durable outerwear and windbreakers, notebooks, etc...   It does not wrinkle and does not shrink.  If I were sewing garments with it, I would use a microtex sharp 70/10 or 80/12 sewing  needle, machine zig-zag stich and cotton covered polyester thread.  Because it's a microfiber, I recommend topstiching seams to prevent puckering.  What are you thinking of using it for?

    Nancy- this is the Moleskine I was referring to: ttps://us.moleskine.com/

    The article is on https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2019/06/8th-annual-moleskine-project/

    I am intrigued and wondered if anyone was familiar with this process.

    I also live in the woods and moles are everywhere but this is another aspect. Why it is called Moleskine I have not a clue!
