These strings are made by twisting water hyacinth, a water plant that grows wild in slow-flowing rivers and ponds.
Three types of strings of different thicknesses, sizes S, M, and L.
It is also tasteful as a wrapping ribbon.
This water hyacinth string allows you to enjoy the unique texture of plant fiber.
It can be used repeatedly.

–Water hyacinth baskets in Thailand–
Most of the makers are women in their 40s to 70s, and most of the basket weaving is done by groups or families in the village or hamlet.
Water hyacinth products are made by different makers (in different regions) depending on what they make and how they are woven.
Many people make basket weaving as their full-time occupation,
but there are also those who do both farming and basket weaving.
Such dual-income craftspeople may stop making baskets during the harvest season and concentrate on farming.
Although there are not many young woven craftsmen,
the quality of these natural material products is now being reevaluated in Thailand,
and young people are becoming more interested in baskets.
