Abaca
Abaca (Musa Textilis), commonly known as Manila hemp, is a tree-like herb resembling the banana plant. It is the strongest natural fiber in the world and is salt-water resistant. It is grown mainly in its native Philippines since the 16th century and was used as ships’ rigging before the development of nylon. Abaca comes in two colors, depending on where the fiber is taken from. The natural blonde color comes from the inner part of the plant and the dark brown comes from the bark.
