Vaikom Coir Yarn spun both by hand and wheel, mostly the latter, from bright coloured, fairly well cleaned coir fibres extracted from retted husks characterised by the very soft textured appearance; containing small amounts of pith, husk and sand but no dirt; somewhat hairy soft and light in appearance; fairly even in thickness and twist ; fibres are not teased so well as in Anjengo A and so lumps of entangled fibres are found frequently in strands of yarn.
The runnage ranges from 200 mts to 300 mts & above. |
Wheel spun yarn; from long or medium stapled, natural bright golden coloured, well-cleaned coir fibres extracted from retted husks; containing little or no pith or husk and varying percentages of sand; some what hairy; hard twisted-both the single ply and the two plies of yarn are more hard twisted than Mangadan Coir yarn. Thus Mangadan Coir Yarn being the most hard twisted of all the varieties falling under hard twisted yarns. |
Ashtamudi Cior yarn Wheel spun yarn; spun usually thicker than Vaikom from less cleaned coir fibres extracted from retted husks; brownish to grayish in colour, containing a small amount of sand, husk and short fibres; hairy and less clean in appearance compared to Mangadan Coir Yarn
