7 Coir Fibre
The cocoanut when taken from the tree has a thick fibrous covering, varying from 3-in. to 6 in. in thickness. The kernel is extracted, and the husk is retted to obtain the fibres. The retting is done by keeping the husks under water for several months. This retting dissolves the gum which binds the fibres together and leaves the fibres soft and pliable. In the Anjengo district the retting is done in brackish water which gives a better fibre than when done in fresh water. For this reason Anjengo yarn is claimed as of better quality. The yarns spun from the coir fibre are generally hand produced. The fibre is a reddish brown colour, up to 10 in long, and occurs in the form of large stiff and very elastic filaments, each filament being round smooth and somewhat like horse hair It possesses remarkable tenacity and curls easily. The fibre is used in the South Seas instead of oakum for caulking boats and vessels and it is claimed that it will never rot. Coir fibre is principally used for making mats, cordage, rugs and carpets. About 1 lb of fibre is obtained from six cocoanuts (see Coir Yarn and Kogalla Yarn) -
8 Rhea Fibre
RAMIE, or RHEA FIBREA very strong and durable fibre. It is grown in China, Japan, Java, India, etc. Ramie fibre is very white, has a high lustre, and can be separated into filaments as fine as silk. The ramie plant belongs to the family of Urtica (nettle) and to the sub-division Boehmeria. It contains about 25 per cent of gum and when degummed is much stronger than hemp or cotton. It can be spun with less twist than other fibres of similar length of staple. It resists damp, and when mixed with wool imparts non-shrinking properties to the resulting yarn. The fibre lengths vary from 4-in. to 72-in. It is much used for gas mantles. Ramie counts are usually in the worsted system (see China Grass). The two best fibre-yielding species are" Boehmeria tenacissima, often called the green-leaved ramie, as its leaves are entirely green; and Boehmeria nivea, often called the white-leaved ramie, as the undersides of its leaves are silvery white. The nivea species is very largely grown in China, and to a lesser degree in India and Formosa, and the tenacissima in Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Malacca, Mexico, and other tropical countries. -
9 Nettle Fibre
Short, fine stem fibre obtained from the nettle. In 1766 a Leipzig manufacturer was the first to extract the fibres and German firms made fabrics of them. The fibre is obtained from two species of the stinging nettle, Urtica Dioica and U. Urena. In Germany the fibre is spun into a green coloured yarn (Nessel Garn), and this is woven into Nesseltuch, a cloth which much resembles linen and may be bleached pure white. The introduction of China grass has greatly reduced the interest in nettle fibre. -
10 Bichu Fibre
The name in India for the fibre from the stinging nettle, Urtica Dioica. The plant yields a large amount of fibre of large diameter. The plant is a common one in the U.S.A. and grows on waste land. In Sweden it is cultivated to some extent for its fibre, and used for cordage, low cloth, etc., and is known as Swedish hemp. -
11 Sida Fibre
A fibre obtained from the sida plant, Sida Rhombifolia, grown in India. It closely resembles jute, but has longer fibres, has fewer impurities, and is easier to manufacture and much superior. The fibre is lustrous, silky, and much finer, brighter and whiter than jute. It is separated from the stalk by the same process as jute. The fibre is also known as Sufet Bariata. -
12 Chagnar Fibre
A strong leaf fibre, yielded by the Bromelia Serra in Argentine and used for making cordage, bags, ham mocks, etc. Also the Mataco Indians made a sort of cuirass from the fibres and wore it as a defence when at war. The cuirass was padded before and behind with cotton from the fruit of the " Yachan." When the natives roll themselves in water, the fibre swells, and the cuirass becpmes arrow-proof. -
13 Paper Mulberry Fibre
The bast fibre from a small tree, the Broussonetia Papyrifera, native of Japan, China, Southern Asia, and Polynesia. The fibre is fine and strong. It is used to make the tape fabric. The bark, after separation from the plant, is steeped in water until the inner and outer layers can be separated easily. The innermost bark is the best and when washed is white and resembles a fabric in itself.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Paper Mulberry Fibre

14 Somaliland Fibre
The long and flexible leaf fibre of the Sanseviera Ehrengergii, in Africa. At one time it was imported as aloe fibre. To obtain the advantages of the fibre it has to be prepared where grown and as soon as gathered. -
15 Sugamo Fibre
A fibre obtained from a species of seaweed found in Japanese waters. The seaweed is steamed and boiled in a special chemical solution. About 12 per cent by weight of fibre is the yield. The fibre is said to have the feel and appearance of Egyptian cotton, retains heat and repels water. Spun into deniers from 30 to 60 -
16 Pineapple Fibre
A soft, very fine, lustrous and durable leaf fibre obtained from the pineapple in the Philippines. It is one of the finest fibres and used for the sbeerest muslins and the Pina cloth made in the Islands. The fibre has great durability and is unaffected by water. Also known as silk grass. It is also found in China, South America, Mexico and parts of Africa. The cost of production is very high which restricts its use. -
17 Screw Tree Fibre
A fibre derived from the bast of the Helicteres Asoca, a native of the East Indies. The fruit is twisted, hence the name. The fibre is used for cordage, gunny bags, and blinds for verandahs. -
18 Sea-Grass Fibre
The fibre of the Zostera Marina, a seaweed or grass found in large quantities on the sea coast of temperate climates. The fibres are one to two feet in length and apparently consist of pure cellulose. The entire plant is used as the fibre, and is used wholly for stuffing. -
19 Maguey Fibre
A name often given to the fibres yielded by the Agave Vivipara plant which is a native of India. The fibres are strong and used for making cordage, ropes, and mats. They have also been used for violin strings. The fibre is obtained by retting the leaves and washing and preparing after retting. Also known as Bastard Aloe and Manila Aloe fibre. -
20 Black Fibre
A dark, smooth and glossy fibre obtained from the leaves of a species of the Caryota palm in Ceylon. Owing to the stiffness of the fibre it is used as a substitute for horsehair.
