WHAT DOES IXTLE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Istle

Istle or tampico fiber is the general name for a hard plant fiber obtained from a number of Mexican plants, chiefly species of Agave and Yucca. Istle or ixtle is also used as the common name of the plants producing the fiber. Ixtle is also the common name of a species of bromeliad, Aechmea magdalenae, grown in southern Mexico for its silky fibers. Istle fiber is used as a substitute for animal bristles in the manufacture of brushes and also for making cords and ropes. Particular kinds of istle include: ▪ Jaumave istle, produced from Agave funkiana, is said to be the best grade. The name comes from the Jaumave Valley in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas, where it is grown. The fiber is obtained from the young inner leaves that form the central bud. Jaumave istle fibre is usually 20–40 in long, almost white, and almost as strong and flexible as sisal, produced from Agave sisaliana. ▪ Tula istle is produced from Agave lechuguilla or Agave univittata. The name is derived from the town of Tula, also in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas.
