Size of card 4"x5" Tree-free; sustainably made from recycled, unbleached, scrap cotton fabric Adorned with hand screen printed motifs Blank inside Azo-free dyes Crafted by rural and low-income artisans from Northern India Set of 8 This special paper is crafted from 100% cotton hosiery waste scrap fabric, discarded by cotton t-shirt manufacturers. The paper is Processed Chlorine-Free (PCP) and is unbleached, making the product and the process earth-friendly. Makes a thoughtful gift. A Fair Trade product. Handmade by artisans in India. How It's Made Artisans first blend scrap fabric with water until the mixture becomes a watery paste. To create the broad spectrum of colors, vibrant azo-free dyes are added at this stage. Artisans then pull wire mesh screens through tubs filled with the mixture, forming sheets. These wet sheets are skillfully transferred from the screen into stacks, each sheet separated with layers of fabric.
