Infrastructure
The reed people on Reed Town were the first to utilize the bundled dried reeds in their boats, crafts, hunting traps and floating land. Innoit Estate adopted it for food and fertilizer production. But itwould become best known for tying ropes for the many many bridges that straddle the gorges and gullies all across the Four Corners.Refinement
- Workers start by combing the reeds over spikes to soften the fibers
- After, they throw the raw yuta into a spreader that separates the strands and forms them into large rolls that are placed back into the spreader for more detangling
- These wheels are transferred to an enclosed area and covered with cloth for about 2 days
- Then pinned rollers soften them and workers remove any impurities
- The other end spews out ribbon like strands called Slivers;
- To reduce their width and thickness, they then go through a process called "Drawing" which involves cramping the fibers to enhance their strength and flexibility until they're ready for "Spinning"
- They are twisted and lengthened into spools
- Yarn consists of one strand while twine is made with two
- The next step is "Winding": when any spinning errors are corrected to improve performance
Distribution
Storage
The fiber is most commonly used in making essential sacks for regional trade and in transporting nearly all crops. Many such full and empty bags are kept in warehouses, large and small, all over the empire.
