How To Separate Yucca Fibers
The Yucca plant is one of the strongest fibers you can find in the wild. It's important that being too rough on the leaf will be costly. To get the most out of this plant, it's best to be gentle. The goal is to prepare strong strands for cordage.
First, you will need a Yucca leaf.
Next, you will need a club or stick.
Lightly hit the leaf from base to tip until it's bruised.
Rub the leaf to loosen the fibers.
Use the edge of the baton to scrape off the pulp.
At this point, you should start to see the fibers separate.
Gently pull the fibers apart by hand.
These strands can go a long way to be strong useful cordage. The finish to this process should look like the wiry strands below.
