Wild Silk Weaving
Wild silk weaving interlaces yarn made from wild-silk fiber on a loom to produce cloth. The fiber preparation and weaving methods vary among the traditions using it.
Sustainable Technique
Raffia Weaving
Across sub-Saharan Africa, the long, pliable leaves of the raffia palm are stripped into fine, strong fibers, dried in the sun, and often dyed with natural pigments. They are then woven by hand into baskets, mats, hats, and cloth. Patterns are built by plaiting or coiling the fibers, and the designs often carry meaning specific to the community that makes them.
