Three or ten sheets of handmade Lotka paper in a light weight (20g) paper. This great handmade paper from Nepal is ideal for adding an elegant touch to your holiday cards, wrapping that special gift or even decorating your home. Each sheet measures 20" x 30" and has a natural deckle edge.
We ship this paper rolled into a tube. US Domestic carriers add surcharges for packages longer than 23" in length, and in some cases for tube shapes (they roll off sorting equipment). Our shipping costs reflect the actual costs charged for the tubes, and for the shipping charges. We do combine shipping, so multiple orders can roll together into one larger package.
Lotka is made in the highlands of Nepal by rural craftspeople. The Daphne bush is farmed and harvested from 3-4 year old plants that are cut down and stripped of their bark to become the raw material from which the sheets are formed. The plant is not destroyed when cut down, it regenerates from the root. The cane like stick, once it's bark is removed is dried and used to heat the villagers homes and to provide cooking fuel for meals and also for the production of the paper. All of the water used in the paper production is reclaimed and reused. The bark is beaten by hand and boiled to break it down to a pulp (where it is mixed in with recycled pulp and paper scrap collected from the card and envelope manufacturing process) that is then pored into screens to form the sheets. These sheets are then dried in the sun. The whole process is not only earth friendly but also provides a large community with a healthy enterprise. All of our lotka paper is at least 50% recycled fiber content.
