Rope making
|
| Hand spun yarn; spun from coir fibers which are less cleaned and extracted from inadequately retted husks; containing varying amounts of pith; characterised by its extraordinary thickness; unclean in appearance; very less hairy. The runnage ranges from 50 mts to 60 mts & above. |
|
The major types of ropes are as follows
|
| Beypore: Hand spun yarn; spun from coir fibres extracted from insufficiently retted husks; of bluish brown colour comparable in thickness to thinner types of roping; containing small amounts of pith and husk; less dirty than the other types of inferior varieties of yarns. The runnage ranges from 70 to 90 metres |
| Beypore – Z: Hand spun yarn; spun from coir fibres extracted from insufficiently retted husks; of bluish brown colour; omparable in thickness to thinner types of roping; containing small amounts of pith and husk, less dirty than the other types of interior varieties of yarns. The runnage ranges from 70 to 90 mts. |
| Quailandy: Hand spun yarn; spun from fairly well cleaned coir fibres extracted from retted husk, natural bright golden to greyish in colour; similar in appearance and texture to Ashtamudy; fibres being insufficiently opened lie adhering to each other in the yarn. The runnage ranges from 110 to 130 mts. |
