100% cotton rag. 100% Cotton rag paper is rare. They have long fibres which gives the paper exceptional strength and durability. The cotton rag comes from T-shirt off cuts. The paper is made by hand and is acid free. 
​
Papermaking is totally dependent on water and Khadi water supply comes from their own bore well and from rainwater capture. No water is wasted. First the “virgin” water is used for white papers, then it is recycled for light, then dark colours and for crop fibre papers. No chlorine, bleaches or harmful chemicals are used in any of the cotton rag papers and the final run-off is pH neutral and has been passed for irrigation use by the Karnataka state authority. The water is also used on their organic farm.
