PRODUCTION PROCESS OF COIR AND COIR PRODUCTS

Coir or Cocos - Nature's wonder fibre is extracted from the protective husk of the coconut. This golden fibre is spun in a breath - taking range of textured yarn and woven into a spectrum of colorful floor covering. The husks separated from the nuts are retted in lagoons up to ten months. The retted husks are then beaten with wooden mallets manually to produce the golden fibre. The fibre is later spun into yarn on traditional spinning wheels called "Ratts", ready for dyeing and weaving into myriad shades of floor coverings. A score of varieties/grades of coir yarn are produced and each variety is associated with certain specific characteristics, used for industrial, agricultural and domestic applications.
