It is sometimes referred to as "sisal hemp", because for centuries hemp was a major source for fiber, and other fiber sources were named after it. Fiber is extracted by a process known as decortication, where leaves are crushed, beaten, and brushed away by a rotating wheel set with blunt knives, so that only fibers remain.
