Tawashi:

Once washed, the fiber

becomes stronger and

tougher and is used to

make sponges, mats,

and ropes.

A single palm tree produces

100 coconuts each year.

To prepare the palm fiber, the

coconut is harvested, cut into

several pieces, then soaked in

water for four to six weeks.

At that point, a machine

mechanically separates the

husk from the fiber.
