Firstly, the husk passes through the Retting process in which it is soaked in water to soften it. After nine months, husks are taken out of retting banks from where they are. The husks are removed after nine months from the retting mound and then are winnowed properly. These husks are then crushed and crumpled with hammers or knives to collect fibers. These fibers are later on dried and put into a spinning wheel to make very strong threads that are used to make rugs and other handicrafts.<\/p>\n
