Arenga Fiber - Material for Brush or Broom Making
Arenga Fiber, also known as Gumati Fiber, is a medium to stiff plant fiber derived from the Arenga Pinnata sugar palm tree; mainly grown and processed in Indonesia.
With a rich history of use for rope, roofs, brushes, brooms, and thickening for concrete.
Similar to Tampico, Arenga is ideal for brushes made for scrubbing, sweeping, painting, decor, tactile stimulation, or ritual/altar spaces.
Length: Current stock is in 200-300 mm. Check back regularly for more variety of length.
Sold by Weight in quantities of 250 gr., 500, gr. Or 1kg bundles. (250 gr is enough for 2-4 brushes depending on size & length of fibers)
This fiber is cleaned and dressed. It is not treated with any chemicals and is 100% biodegradable, but with simple care will last many years or decades.
The coarse fibers of Arenga resemble horse hair in texture and are most commonly used in natural brushes and brooms; it is recognised as one of the hardest wearing natural fibers.

Other fibers available: Tampico (shown below for contrast), more coming soon.
