I have compiled a list of resources for the Japanese Washi papers known as Momi. These sturdy mulberry papers are soft, textured by hand-crinkling (sometimes by machine), and take adhesive very well. They are available in a wide range of colors, metallics, and marbled.
The following list is in no particular order and by no means complete. If you find additional resources please let me know. If you purchase from these sources, I’d also like to know what your opinions are of both the papers and the vendor.

I’ve been told that shipping costs can be quite high for some of these resources and several have minimum order limits. If you are preparing to order, consider combining orders with other club members. I know several have expressed interest in sharing costs.
Can’t wait to see all the creative ways we find to use these papers!
