Frequently Asked Questions
What is hyacinth material?
+

Water hyacinths are named so because they are a type of weed that grows in lakes, rivers and other water bodies. The stalks of hyacinths are taken and processed to create the fibres needed for textiles.

How do you make a water hyacinth basket?
+

The first process involves collecting water hyacinths and choosing the proper stems. Next, there is a soft tissue underlying the stem, removed and dried for a certain amount of time. This fibre is then treated and processed, and created into a rope. Artisans then used this rope to create their handicrafts and hyacinth bags, and baskets. If the fibre needs to be coarse, then treating the thread resembles making ropes of Jutes.
