1 Sisal Hemp
A fibre obtained from the leaves of the Agave rigida, and largely grown in Mexico. Mostly used in ropemaking. Also woven into rough fabrics for use of the poorer classes of Mexico. It is considered next to hemp for strength. There are two varieties, one grown in Mexico, Florida, Cuba and the Bahamas, and the other in Yucatan. It is also being grown in East Africa and India. After preparation the fibre is a straight, pale yellow ribbon from 2 feet to 4 feet long. The fibre is very strong, smooth, and has a yellowish colour (see False Sisal hemp) -

It is obtained in a similar manner to flax by retting, breaking, crushing, cutting and hackling. It is not rotted by water and is much used for ropes, sailcloth, etc. (see common Hemp).

The fibre is very white, soft and flexible and has a high lustre. It differs from most hemp fibres in that it is obtained from the leaf and not the bast. It is not so fine or regular as true flax, nor does it spin as well, but it is superior to either flax or hemp in its tenacity. It is largely used for cordage, twine and floor-matting, through the best fibre is woven into a duck fabric closely resembling linen. There are numerous local names for this plant - The common variety of the lowland swamps is Harakeke, that of the higher ground is Paritanewha, and the best variety is called Taihore. The fibre is generally known as Muka. -
