Hi

Both techniques were clearly intended for basketweaving. The first was particularly reed-like but the second could be used for knot tying. I would love to understand what exactly is going on when he’s spinning the paper there. It’d also be good to know how he joins his pieces for a continuous cord (or does he?).
Japan also has paper yarn that they use for loom weaving, knitting, and other fibre techniques. I suspect theirs is done with industrial processes though rather than handmade by artisans. 8)
I’ve long had a project in mind for paper cord, but my spinning has not gone well. Looks like I should have been using much wider pieces of paper…
Cool video finds!
This method is illustrated in Figure 6a-c.
