Paper

I have used KHADI RAG PAPERS - made in Karnataka, South India. www.khadi.com

They are made from 100% cotton rag.  Genuine rag papers are rare and it is the fibre length of this raw material that gives Khadi rag papers their exceptional strength and durability. The cotton rag we use comes from T-shirt cuttings, a reliable source of pure woven cotton.

Rags are pulped in a Hollander beater. Neutral pH internal size is added at this stage. Khadi rag papers are the only handmade papers in India made with neutral pH size and so they are the only ones that are genuinely acid free.

They are a gorgeous paper to use for watercolours and I love to leave the rough edging exposed and floating on its mount.
