Varaq-final product

The next stage is taken over by the women of the community who slice each of the Varaq sheets into quarters with a blunt long knife-like tool and transfer them with incredible gentleness on to butter sheets. Inspite of the heat the fan is not turned on as even a breath of air can displace and break-up the delicate Varaq. The deckle edges of the Varaq are cut and any unevenness or gaps filled in and a few final hammer blows even-out and finish the Varaq. The micro-fine Varq is now packed in packs of ten and ready for delivery.
