Elephant grass grows surrounding water holes in the Sahel region of West Africa. The strong slender leaves are harvested seasonally by the Fra Fra people of Northern Ghana, then soaked and stretched to produce a fine, supple, and extra strong fibre. Supporting these items helps to maintain the time-honoured craft of weaving, while continuing a long-existing fair-trade relationship with these people. May be soaked in water and reshaped as desired.
