Arenga Fiber - Material for Brush or Broom Making

from €18.00

*Tampico & Arenga will be shipped end of April 2026 when it is back in stock but you can order now!

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.

Sold by Weight in quantities of 500 gr. Or 1kg bundles. (250 gr is enough for 2-6 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.

Check out our workshops for broom making and other courses.

Other fibers available:

~Tampico (shown below for contrast)

~Goat Hair

~Broomcorn (Several Lengths!)

Broom & Brush Making kit found here.
