 The study compared four different types of vegetable fibers commonly used in artisanal production in southern Colombia. These included for Crea Macrophila, Ifeak, Schenoplectus californicus, Totora, stroma in the stromathoids, Tedera, and Carladovica Pomata, Iroca. The study found that feak had the highest elasticity and could be used for items such as clothing, while Tedera had the strongest fibers and could be used to make baskets that are resistant to weight and rigidity. Additionally, Iroca and Totora were found to have greater potential applications in the textile industry, while the high-moisture content of all fibers may affect their technological characteristics and the quality of artisan products.
