Snake fiber

Snake fiber is a plant-based fibre obtained from the leaves of the Sansevieria plant (e.g. Sansevieria trifasciata, also known as “snake plant”). It is not a fibre derived from actual snakes, but an ecological material sourced from plants. It is still a relatively uncommon material. The fibre is used in the textile industry for producing ropes, composite materials, and home textiles.
