The Khadi Log Book is the sketchbook you actually carry. It is a compact 17 x 12cm block of 180 pages of smooth, 100gsm, 100% cotton rag paper from Khadi, section stitched so it lies open and holds up to being stuffed in a bag every day. Fill it with pen drawings on the train, quick studies at the cafe, notes from a class or a page a day for a year.
Cotton rag behaves differently from everyday cartridge paper. It has a soft, slightly toothy feel even on the smooth side, it takes fine liner and dip pen without feathering, and because there is no wood pulp in it, it stays acid free and will not yellow. At 100gsm it is a drawing and writing weight: ideal for pencil, ink, fineliners and coloured pencil, with enough sizing for a light wash or a quick watercolour note.

What to Use in a Khadi Log Book
Graphite and coloured pencils, fineliners, brush pens, technical pens and dip pen with ink all sit beautifully on the smooth cotton surface. Light watercolour washes and water brush work are fine in moderation. For loose, wet watercolour, step up to a heavier 300gsm cotton paper.
For a little colour on the go, pair it with a Sennelier Gouache Mini Set. For handmade cards on the same cotton rag, see the Khadi Folded Card and Envelope Set.
About Khadi Papers
Khadi Papers have been bringing handmade cotton rag paper to artists around the world since the early 1980s. The paper is made in India from 100% recycled cotton textile offcuts, with no wood pulp, then formed by hand, pressed and air dried. The result is a strong, naturally textured and truly acid free paper, loved by watercolourists, printmakers and book artists for its character and durability.
Questions About the Khadi Log Book
How many pages are in the Khadi Log Book?
The Khadi Log Book has 180 pages, which is 90 sheets, of 100gsm smooth cotton rag paper in a 17 x 12cm format.
Can I use watercolour in the Khadi Log Book?
Yes, lightly. At 100gsm the paper suits light washes and water brush work over ink. For heavy, wet watercolour, a 300gsm cotton watercolour paper is the better choice.
Is Khadi paper acid free?
Yes. Khadi paper is made from 100% cotton rag with no wood pulp and is acid free and pH neutral, so your drawings will not yellow or become brittle over time.
What pens work best on cotton rag paper?
Fineliners, technical pens, brush pens and dip pens all work well on the smooth surface. Cotton holds a crisp line without feathering, which makes it a favourite for urban sketchers and ink artists.
Does the Khadi Log Book lie flat?
It is section stitched, which means the pages are sewn in signatures rather than glued, so the book opens well and stays open for drawing across a spread.
Where can I buy Khadi paper in Australia?
Right here. Art Shed Online is an authorised Australian stockist of Khadi, buying through the official Australian distributor, so you get genuine stock, never a grey import.
