Water is used to clean all excess particles remaining on the bark pieces, which are then laid out to dry. The pieces are then heated with soda lime, so that only the fibers remain. Wood ashes and lime are also sometimes used. Next, any remaining fragments of bark are carefully removed and the fibers are beaten with a rod to separate.
