Deckled Edge in large sheets

Deckled Edge paper was once accomplished by a hand made process. In early papermaking a deckle was produced by tearing the edge from the paper sheet that made in a mold, known as mold made paper. The tear was made while the paper was still wet. In more recent processes of creating a deckle on mold made paper the deckle is created by applying a tape to the edge of the still wet paper sheet and tearing it off. The effect of the tearing is a beautiful feathered edge known as a deckle.

In modern papermaking the deckle is created on machine with a water knife which spays a thin jet of water at a low angle into the web of newly made paper while it is still on the wet-end of the paper machine. As background the wet end of the machine is where the paper still has about 98% water content. When paper gets to the end of the machine it is approximately 5% water by content. Here you can see a paper machine making recycled paper during my visit to Neenah Paper's Appleton paper mill.

The image inset above is Mohawk Fine Paper's Ultra Felt which comes in 80 lb text and 80 lb & 100 lb cover weights in 6 colors including a gorgeous black. You can make some really great projects with deckled edge paper. Ultra Felt also comes in envelopes showing the deckled edge along the envelope flap.
