A friend of mine is making parchment out of cloth lint from the laundry.  If
you are intersted, send me some email and I'll ask her about the process and
send it to you.

Er, I just looked up "parchment" in my dictionary and it specifically said
it was the skin of goat or whatever.  Still, the cloth lint paper looks very
nice and you can't get much cheaper than the lint from your laundry...
