Piña

I was surprised to learn that fabrics were being made with the fibre obtained from pineapple leaves. Mostly used in the Philippines this unusual and exotic fibre is used to make table linens, bags, mats and various items of clothing. The end product is lightweight but rather stiff, however, pineapple fibre combined with silk is said to be a favourite of the Queen of Philippine!
