Explanation:
Depends on the context. But "double-folded sheet of paper" sounds odd to me. Better "my folded sheet of paper".

dubbelvika = to fold in half (NOT to fold twice)
Example:
”Var hittar jag ett A5-papper? Vänta, jag har ett A4-papper
här, och A5:an är halften av det. Bara att vika det dubbelt!"
