Eswatini Weavers Weaving

The basket making process is collaborative, with tasks spread out to various groups. One group is charged with harvesting the sisal, a difficult job as the fronds need to be kept clean in order to accept the dye evenly. They harvest the heart (center) of the sisal plant where the fiber is softer and lighter in color. Then, using a spade, the fronds are separated, ready for spinning.
