In a village in Sri Lanka, local artisans weave coconut rope on an industrial scale. They use equipment from 100 years ago.The nuts are soaked in water for several months, then the fibers are combed out and dried. According to old technologies, they produce very high-quality networks from coconut ropes. They are used from fishing to construction. The rope does not absorb moisture at all and is resistant to salt water.
