Rwandan artisans often use sisal in their traditional coil weaving technique where hand dyed threads are wrapped around bunches of sweetgrass to create a tight coil that can be woven in a range of colors and patterns.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eImpact\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artisan sector is the second largest employer in the developing world.
