Ropes made of six strings and the other eight strings fiber from the bark of taa tree(adonsonia digitata bombacaceae). The women that make this rope hold the fiber in between their toes and twist the strings by twirling with their hands. This practice is different from the usual of rolling it on the thigh. They use the rope for hanging clothes and for tying firewood bundles.
