Fibres : Bulrush

 

Bulrush grows throughout Australia where ever  permanent water is visited by water birds .

Pull or chop the fiber and draw it through your hand to pop squash all the air chambers along the length of the fiber

Dry it in the sun till it is white you can break it back and forth about a chair leg

It can become brittle so fold it with out breaking it  store very dry

To use soak it

Beautiful seat rope is made for rustic chair bases

I love to make thick pure white rope bracelets
