These cotton rag sketchbooks are hand stitched in shades of blue in a choice of traditional Japanese 'stab stitch' styles: Simple, Noble, Hemp Leaf and Tortoiseshell. They're available in 4 sizes, from A6 small to A3 extra large.
Each size has 20 leaves (40 pages) of medium surface 210gsm handmade khadi paper, and the A3 size benefits from thicker 320gsm covers. The paper feels soft yet substantial and it is gelatine sized for wet mediums. It's great for watercolour, ink, pen and pencil. These sketchbooks or art journals are a real pleasure to use, thanks to their tactile natural materials.
The paper is fair trade and 100% cotton, recycled from the textile industry and thus reducing landfill waste. So this sketchbook is ideal for artists who prefer an ethical and eco-friendly book to work in. The pages features deckled edges that give the books a very natural feel, depending on size some pages are hand-torn.
This style will not lie flat - if you need a cotton rag book that does stay open, take a look at the cotton rag Wabi Sabi Sketchbooks.
