Coir is rustic, rugged and offers excellent wear at reasonable prices made from the outer husk of the coconut, softened in fresh water then spun into yarn coarsely woven with thick chunky fibres giving a strikingly ethnic appearance available in 2 colours and three styles inherently anti-static
Coir is an inexpensive way to achieve a natural, stylish country look. The fibre used is removed by hand from the coconut husk after softening in salt water. Stones are used to pound the husk and the fibres combed out and dried. This superior fibre is woven on both hand-operated and power looms. The former gives a weave which is available in natural coconut, bleached colours and combinations of the two. The power loomed option offers a tighter, more uniform weave.
