Everything about Cedar Bark Textile totally explained
Cedar bark textile was used by
indigenous people in the
Pacific Northwest region of modern-day
Canada and the
United States. Historically, most items of clothing were made this. The name is a confusing misnomer, as it's made from
thuja and
cypress bark, not
cedar bark, cedars being confined to the
Old World.
After the
Western Redcedar or
Yellow cypress (often called "Yellow cedar") bark was peeled in long strips from the trees, the outer layer was split away, and the flexible inner layer was shredded and processed. The resulting
felted strips of
bark were soft and could be
plaited,
sewn or
woven into a variety of fabrics that were either dense and watertight, or soft and comfortable.
Women wore
skirts and
capes of redcedar bark, while men wore long capes of cedar bark into which some
mountain goat wool was woven for decorative effect.
Bark cloth was also made by the
Baganda people of
Uganda, from the inner bark of the
mutuba tree (
Ficus natalensis).
