KHADI HIMALAYAN HANDMADES
Handmade from 100% daphne fiber, Khadi Himalayan Handmades represent some of the finest papermaking from Nepal in a range of papermaking styles. The "traditional" method of papermaking is performed by placing the mould into the vat and then floating the pulp on top of the mould. When the fibers have been distributed to the papermaker's satisfaction, the mould is then lifted from the vat. This technique produces delightfully inconsistent sheets, each with its own individual character.
The "washi" style sheets are in the manner of Japanese papermakers who were very influential on Nepal as they were with most other cultures of the Far East. All are neutral pH with 4 deckles.
