Coir Curling Machine

Coir rope-making is a common cottage industry in India. This is where a family works together from their home. They actually work outside, somewhere with plenty of space to stretch out the lengths of rope and preferably with shade, like under big trees. The Coconut fibre is attached to hooks on a wheel that is turned by hand. This twists the coir while more is added. It forms a strong rope that doesn’t unwind or break.
