The Art of Weaving Coir
by
Traditional Twine Making
The refined coir is twined into coir ropes. The traditional twine making is done manually using spinning wheel. Initially, the small quantity of coir is attached to the hook in spinning wheel which is in motion. Then the formed rope is held in the hands and the loop is continued by adding coir to it. The artisan maintains the uniform thickness by walking backwards.
The prepared coir rope is again twisted to obtain the thickness by adding two single twines. Thus, the two-ply coir rope ready for marketing.
