Cotton Paper
A soft, tough traditional paper that resists tearing and takes ink gently, suited to wrapping, mounting and writing.
Made mostly from cotton or bast fibre, cotton paper is soft yet strong inside, fold- and tear-resistant, with even ink absorption. Handmade cotton paper shares its lineage with yarn paper, while machine-made grades keep gsm steadier. It serves mounting, wrapping and printing. Handmade batches vary, so confirm gsm and evenness by sample.
