Traditional Twine Making
 
  • Printer-friendly version

Artisans collect Banana bark from surrounding villages of Lakkavanahalli. Banana twine making is done in the streets preferably in the early morning. The bark is first split into small strips and soaked in water. Due to water treatment, the bark becomes smooth and soft. The strips are then hooked to the spinning wheel to make the lengthy yarn. As the spinning wheel starts rotating, the artisan walks backwards by adding the smaller strips of banana bark to form a long yarn. The yarn is reeled into small bundles and sent to weaving section for making mats and other eco-friendly decorative items. Minimum of 3 to 4 people required for yarn making. One person for operating spinning wheel and remaining for making twines.
