dc.description.abstractThe study aimed at exploring the possibility of extracting natural fibers from Cyperus papyrus plants, examining the suitability of Cyperus papyrus fibers for textile use and producing Cyperus papyrus hand woven products for home applications. The study used qualitative data collection methods. Some quantitative interpretations like graphs were, however, used to present demographic data. Collection of data was through in-depth interviews, observation, and photography. The collected data was analyzed through studio and laboratory experimentation to affirm the suitability of Cyperus papyrus in craft textile production. Findings revealed that the extracted fibers were suitable for craft textiles. For further affirmation of the suitability of Cyperus papyrus as a material for craft textile production, various products such as wall hangings, table mats and door mats for decorative and educative purposes were woven. Based on the findings it was concluded that Cyperus papyrus could produce long resilient strong fibers efficient for weaving and highly recommended for all hand weavers especially in educational institutions and in the textile cottages as a viable hand weaving material.en_US
