Sisal fiber is derived from the leaf of Agave plant, which grows in Brazil and East Africa. It is valued for cordage because of its strength, durability and affinity for certain dyestuffs. The lustrous strands, usually creamy white,average from 80 to 120 cm in length and 0.2 to 0.4 mm in diameter. The higher-grade fiber is converted into yarns for the carpet industry.
The Jacquard machine is a device fitted to a loom. The resulting ensemble of the loom and Jacquard machine is then called a Jacquard loom. Jacquard looms are basically used to create larger figured designs, which cannot be produced on a dobby loom and where the warp threads are controlled individually through a patterning mechanism linked to a computer aided design (CAD) system.
