These notebooks were bound with cotton cloth and yarn that were dyed with a technique similar to the old method. The dyed yarn was bundled and twisted with undyed yarn into a string. The way of this binding is the style of a traditional Indian account book or ledger, bahi khata. 

Notebooks in bahi khata style are also made using various block printed cloths with various patterns today.
