JungleVine Fiber comes from the plant Pueraria phaseloides, a relative of kudzu vine. JungleVine grows rapidly without any agricultural inputs -- no cultivation, irrigation, or chemicals. The indigenous Khmu people in northern Laos gather the vine stems, strip the pulp from the fibers, lay them out to dry in the sun, and then spin the fiber by hand. When harvesting the vine, they always leave enough of the plant behind so that it can re-grow rapidly

JungleVine Foundation works with indigenous communities in Laos, all products are handmade by artisans in small communities using sustainable methods. Based in Laos and Des Moines, IA.
