Abaca

Abaca is a leaf fibre, composed of long slim


cells that form part of the leaf's supporting
structure. It is still used to make ropes, twines,
fishing lines and nets, as well as coarse cloth for
sacking. There is also a flourishing niche market
for abaca clothing, curtains, screens and
furnishings, but paper-making is currently the
main use of the fibre.
