LOTUS FIBRE
PROCESSING
FIBRE EXTRACTION:
 Gathering of lotus leaf stems.
 Knife cut is made around a bunch of 5-6 stems.
 Twisting is done to reveal 20-30 fine white
filaments.
 They are drawn and rolled into a single thread.
YARN PREPARATION:
 Placing skeins on bamboo spinning frame.
 Transferring the thread onto winders for warping
process.
FIBRE EXTRACTION
SPINNING WHEEL
 To avoid tangling,40m yarn lifted from warp post
and is coiled into plastic bags.
 Yarn for weft is wound onto small bamboo
bobbins.
WEAVING:
 Type of Loom-Cambodian Loom(no warp beam).
 Width of the cloth-24”(60-75cm).
 Fabric is woven in 100yds(90m) batches.
WEAVING
Cambodian Loom
 Fibres from 120,000 lotus stems are needed to weave
the fabric for a costume.
 Dye - chemical or natural dyes.
PROPERTIES:
 Finest aquatic fibres
 Breathable & comfortable
 Soft & irregular weft
 Crease resistance
 Under small stress,lotus fibre has good elasticity
 Appearance of linen or raw silk
 Colour of lotus fibre-milky yellow
 Wrinkle free
 Cellulosic fibre
 Cool, stiff & neat
 Moisture absorption & fast drying
STRUCTURE:
 Lotus fibre is multi-filament(fineness of each
monofilament-4µm, space between-3µm to 5µm).
 Cross section of fibre-round or oval.
COMPARISON OF PROPERTIES WITH OTHER FIBRES
 Initial modulus is 146.81 cN/dtex-superior to
cotton,wool,silk and close to ramie.
 Breaking tenacity is 3.44 cN/dtex-superior to
wool, close to cotton,silk and next to ramie.
 Elongation at break is 2.75%-close to ramie and
smaller than cotton,wool & silk.
ADVANTAGES:
 It is a powerful plant as it has many healing properties.
 Environmental friendly as it is organic and natural fibre.
DISADVANTAGES:
 Raw material collection to yarn spinning and weaving is
completely handmade.
 Time consuming and expensive.
 The lotus fabric must be weaved within 24 hours to
prevent the detoriation of fibre.
BLENDING WITH OTHER FIBRES:
 Can mix with 100% silk.
 Blending of 15% lotus fibre and 85% Cotton can
be used for upholstry and draperies.
BRANDS USING LOTUS FIBRE:
 Kyar chi(scarf and sacred fabric)
 Italian Fashion Company- Lora Piana
LORA PIANA TRADEMARKED A NEW KIND OF FABRIC

Lotus fibre

  • 2. PROCESSING FIBRE EXTRACTION:  Gathering of lotus leaf stems.  Knife cut is made around a bunch of 5-6 stems.  Twisting is done to reveal 20-30 fine white filaments.  They are drawn and rolled into a single thread. YARN PREPARATION:  Placing skeins on bamboo spinning frame.  Transferring the thread onto winders for warping process.
  • 5.  To avoid tangling,40m yarn lifted from warp post and is coiled into plastic bags.  Yarn for weft is wound onto small bamboo bobbins. WEAVING:  Type of Loom-Cambodian Loom(no warp beam).  Width of the cloth-24”(60-75cm).  Fabric is woven in 100yds(90m) batches.
  • 7.  Fibres from 120,000 lotus stems are needed to weave the fabric for a costume.  Dye - chemical or natural dyes. PROPERTIES:  Finest aquatic fibres  Breathable & comfortable  Soft & irregular weft  Crease resistance  Under small stress,lotus fibre has good elasticity
