Local Weavers' Use of Fruits for Creating Cocoon Sheets in Meghalaya

The local weavers use fruits such as lemon, guava, baby papaya that has been smoothened into a round ball to flatten out the surface of individual cocoons to create a cocoon sheet. Cocoon sheets are created in order to make it easier for weavers to control the thickness of the yarn while spinning.
