Palm
Harvested from the sturdy midribs or stalks of palm fronds, this natural fiber is known for its durability and structural strength. Once cured, palm fiber readily absorbs natural dyes, allowing for a range of rich, earthy tones in woven applications.
Pandan
A tropical plant with long, stiff, grass-like leaves, pandan is traditionally used across Southeast Asia in both culinary and artisan crafts. In weaving, the dried leaves are softened, dyed, and handwoven, offering a flexible, durable material with a distinct natural texture.
Paper / Wood-Pulp
Derived from processed wood fibers, this material is formed by pulping and refining cellulose, then crafted into thin, durable strands or sheets. Often twisted or spun before weaving, pulp-based fibers offer lightweight strength, a matte finish, and a refined, organic feel.
Raffia
Harvested from the raffia palm, this natural fiber is stripped from the inner surface of each frond, producing long, pliable strands ideal for weaving. Soft yet durable, raffia can be dyed in rich, earthy tones and is widely used around the world for textiles, baskets, and handwoven accents.
Ramie
A bast fiber derived from the stem of the Chinese nettle plant, native to Asia. Known for its strength and subtle sheen, ramie can be processed into fine strands that retain a soft, textured feel. Often compared to linen, it brings both elegance and durability to woven designs. LEARN MORE
Recycled Denim
Made from recycled denim blended with post-consumer PET, this yarn offers a soft, subtly slubbed texture in true denim tones. Its naturally retained color reduces water and energy use while diverting textile and plastic waste from landfills. LEARN MORE
River Reed
A hollow-stemmed plant that thrives in tropical wetlands such as marshes and paddies. Once dried, river reed hardens into a lightweight, wood-like material, valued for its natural strength and structural integrity in woven applications.
Sano
An aquatic plant native to the wetlands of southern Asia, sano is hand-harvested and peeled to reveal a milky-white, spongy interior that resembles cork. Lightweight, durable, and renewable, it adds an organic, handcrafted texture to woven designs and wallcoverings. LEARN MORE
Seagrass
A natural fiber sourced from salt-tolerant grasses cultivated in wet, coastal fields. Once dried, the grass becomes stiff and resilient, making it ideal for weaving durable, textural designs.
Sisal
A strong, coarse fiber extracted from the leaves of the agave plant, sisal is known for its durability, stiffness, and natural golden hue. Once dried and woven, it creates rugged, textural surfaces ideal for high-traffic areas and structured designs.
Vetiver
Harvested from the roots of the vetiver plant, this coarse natural fiber becomes stiff and durable when dried, making it ideal for handwoven applications. Prized for its distinctive earthy aroma, vetiver is also widely used in perfumery and wellness, offering both sensory richness and natural texture.
Walingi
A natural grass indigenous to the South Pacific, walingi is known for its distinctive variegation and organic texture. When dried, its tonal variation and natural sheen create a surface that is both visually rich and texturally dynamic.
Water Hyacinth
A fast-growing aquatic plant found in freshwater environments, water hyacinth is often considered invasive due to its rapid spread. Harvesting and drying the hollow stalks creates a durable, fibrous material ideal for weaving—while also helping to maintain healthy waterways.
Water Lily
The stalks of mature water lilies yield a soft yet strong natural fiber, valued for its uniform texture and durability. After harvest, the fibers are sun-dried and handspun, creating a refined material ideal for woven design applications.
