I am looking for coconut and/or pandanus fiber. It has been hard to find commercially and coconut tress are scarce here in Colorado. Thank you.  

You would think with all the beaches you have there coconut trees would be all over the place.  :)

I know, right?

It's mostly that I'm too weak to climb the palm trees here in Colorado. I want them delivered to my door, no muss no fuss.

I think the liner for hanging baskets is coir. tease one appart and use that. it is coconut fibre

You could try this place:

I've never bought any of their coconut fiber, but their basketry supplies are great.

Thanks Tim. There is a basket weaving place in Denver that I hope to check out soon. I am thinking of trying to use sea grass cord depending on the texture and thickness.

Are you looking for fibres from the coconut husk, or from the leaves of the palm tree itself?

It's not a coconut palm, but raffia palm is a nice, sturdy fibre and is available at most craft stores and probably all gardening stores (it's used to graft trees and other plants).

I am looking for the leaves, not the husks. I'd be willing to try with palm leaves if I could get my hands on some. I will look for raffia palm. There are several craft places and one basking weaving outlet not far that I'll try and get to this week. Thank you.

If you go to a flower shop the same kind you would go to to bye a dozen roses they can order you any kind of palm leaves you want and as many as you want hope this helps ;D

i can get the inner fibers of the sabbel palm from fla its what the native americans made fishing nets and lines out of

I would buy or trade no problem ghost.

if i send you enought to make a few slings would you trade a sling made from the palm fiber for it if so pm me your address.

are you still wanting the palm fibers
