Creo Crafts · woman-owned
Sketchbooks and watercolour paper made to be used hard — khadi-textured board, twin-loop wire that folds right back, and cotton rag that survives being scrubbed. Every sheet acid-free and pH neutral.
The range
Specifications on this page are read directly from our live Amazon listings, so what you see here is what the detail page says.
A4 Landscape
A khadi-textured cover over rigid board, and paper heavy enough to take a wash without buckling.
Pencil · ink · charcoal · marker · light watercolour
A5 Landscape
The same cover and the same paper, sized to live in a bag.
Pencil · ink · charcoal · marker · light watercolour
A4 Landscape
Twin-loop wire that folds a full circle, so the book lies flat or doubles back on itself.
Graphite · charcoal · soft pastel · gouache
A5 Landscape
The pocket wire-o: black textured board, perforated pages, opens flat on a café table.
Graphite · charcoal · soft pastel · gouache
A4
Cold-pressed sheets heavy enough to flood with water and still lie flat when they dry.
Watercolour · gouache · poster colour · ink
A5
The same cold-pressed sheet in the smaller format, for studies and postcards.
Watercolour · gouache · poster colour · ink
A4
Cotton rag rather than wood pulp — it lifts, scrubs and reworks where cellulose paper pills and blooms.
Watercolour · gouache · washes and lifting
A5
The same gelatin-sized cotton sheet, cut for small work.
Watercolour · gouache · washes and lifting
Choosing
Weight decides how much water a sheet can take before it buckles. Everything else is preference.

Our story

Our marigold logo stands for growth, warmth and renewal. A woman-owned brand designed in Illinois, USA, our FSC-certified, biodegradable papers blend global craft with everyday practicality.
Questions
Yes — every product in the range is acid-free and pH neutral, so work will not yellow or turn brittle with age.
Khadi is a hand-woven Indian cloth. The cover carries that woven grain over a rigid board, so it feels like a bound artist's journal rather than a printed hardback, and the corners hold up to daily carry.
Both do, differently. The Khadi hardcovers open flat at the spine. The SketchO Wire-O books use twin-loop wire, so they lie flat and also fold a full 360° back on themselves.
The 200 GSM Khadi takes light washes. For wet-on-wet work, heavy washes or anything you intend to keep, use the 300 GSM cold-pressed pack or the 100% cotton paper — that is what they are for.
The 300 GSM is a heavyweight cellulose sheet and the better value for practice and school work. The cotton is 250 GSM cotton rag, gelatin sized: lighter, but it lifts, scrubs and reworks where cellulose paper pills and blooms.
