Thans to all responses to removing paper debris.
Putting in the dryer helped a little - but this was a red paper knapkin placed in pocket by my husband - Oh, if only God had made men a little more like women!
Finally got lint off by brushing in sharp short flicks with a new rubber glove.

Get our your regular duct tape that is usually about 4 inches wide. Roll out some and form a circle around your hand sticky side out, just large enough to have a little wiggle room around the width of your hand. Then lay the piece of clothing down and roll the circle of tape over the article of clothing one line at a time. It will take off any lint, pet hair OR paper debris. I often use this instead of a lint brush.

Try laying garmet flat on closed washer and rub gently with a damp cloth. A clean wash cloth works well for this.

That happens to me every time I do laundry. LOL
The dryer will take it off. But if you don't have a dryer shake off as much as you can and then put back in washer and rinse again. Pam in RI
