Weaving a rabbit fur blanket - Cleaning yucca fiber (part 1 of 4)

In the first part of the four episode series on weaving a rabbit fur blanket, archaeologist Lynnette Etsitty demonstrates the first step in creating the cordage used to weave a rabbit fur blanket: cleaning and preparing yucca fiber. In this video Lynette shows us how to separate the thin fibers that make up yucca leaves by soaking the yucca in water. These thin fibers are the basic foundation in making yucca fiber cordage.
