(back to Natural Fiber heading)

We think of the Agave plant as the source of Teguila but it has been a source of natural fibers forever. Sandals from Agave have been found dating back 5000 years. The Maguey and Henequen plant fibers, from the Agave, have been woven into practical daily goods within Meso America since man has occupied those areas.
