Techniques for Creating Yarns from Paper
Many people create textiles from paper-based yarns, simply by spinning or cutting individual sheets of newspaper and/or toilet paper. Both of those techniques are a bit hacked but these techniques have been refined over centuries, particularly within Japan. This paper/thread is created from a material called kozo and developed into paper fabric called shifu.
