“For the dry Husk is full of small Strings and Threads; which being beaten, becomes soft, and the other Substance which was mixt among it falls away like Saw-dust, leaving only the Strings. These are afterwards spun into long Yarns, and twisted up into Balls for Convenience: and many of these Rope-Yarns joined together make good Cables.”
Rope made from coconut fiber was made and used across the Indian Ocean, on the islands of Southeast Asia, and in the Pacific. Known as coir (Probably a corruption of Malay term), its strength led to its manufacture in Europe and elsewhere. For Pacific islanders, likely for thousands of years, the fiber was indispensable, not only to use the practical business of building houses and canoes, but also to more ceremonial and spiritual matters. . . . .
