KHADI Log Books

KHADI Log Books

Introducing our new, legendary Khadi log books as used by Captain Cook, Captain Scott and Captain Kirk … the essential travelling companion made from our 100% cotton rag paper, tough enough to survive conditions in the South Seas, Antarctica and Outer Space … These paperback log books have exposed section-stitched bindings and classic unevenly trimmed edges. They come with charcoal grey handmade paper tabs. The paper is acid free and is sized internally with neutral pH size. Books have 180 pages … enough for the longest of journeys. At the same time they will fit comfortably in the pocket of your greatcoat. Great for note taking in ink, crayon or watercolour. KHADI log books are available in white or grey paper.

KHADI Paper Hearts

KHADI Paper Hearts

For decorations, invitations,weddings, Valentines … These papers are made in the shape of a heart, not simply cut out from a bigger sheet. They are made by stitching an aluminium rod formed into a heart shape onto the mesh surface of the paper mould. Each heart is slightly different (as it should be) and each one has a natural deckle edge. Paper hearts come in white or in packs of five shades of pink. The surface is medium-rough. The larger size is 15cm across; the new mini size is 7cm across. Sold in packs of 20 paper hearts, or 5 paper hearts and 5 envelopes. See our online shop.       Big Paper from Bhutan On our last visit to Bhutan we met Mr Kandu who had trained in Japan in the art of making the suketa paper moulds used in Japanese nagashizuki  papermaking.  Nagashizuki is a dipping and layering technique of sheet forming.  He has made for us the largest size of paper made by this technique we have yet seen, measuring 830x1250mm – that’s nearly three feet by just over four feet. We have two versions of this paper, one made from the softer, more delicate mitsumata fibre, the other from the harder, high growing fibre called denak, a Bhutanese variety of lokta.
