Description
This palm fibre garden twine is spun from the hairy trunks of Trachycarpus fortunei and traditionally used across Japan for a wide range of garden tasks. Strong and flexible, it is well suited to tree training, fence making, staking, and general binding.
Dyed black and designed to weather naturally outdoors, the twine becomes more supple when damp. When used for fencing, wetting the fibre before tying allows it to tighten as it dries, creating a firm, secure bind. Durable and functional, it is a practical material that also brings a considered finish to the garden.

- 【17】Niwaki
Masterfully forged Japanese garden tools for every gardener’s craft.
Inspired by a deep curiosity for Japan's rich gardening tradition, Jake Hobson, founder of Niwaki, spent time in rural Osaka along with his wife Keiko learning the art of tree training, pruning and rootballing where his love for the craft and tools used evolved. Inspired by the tripod ladder he used in Japan, Jake shipped a few to the UK to use, here the business began. The name Niwaki, meaning 'garden trees,' reflects the brand's dedication to creating beautifully crafted tools for every garden, each made from durable materials expertly forged by artisans across Japan. What everyone starts to appreciate is that although these things are all Japanese, they work just as well in western gardens, and on a whole range of plants.
When Jake and Keiko are not hiding out down in Dorset UK, or galavanting around the country in their Keswick green 130 Defender's, they are putting together this range of good stuff for us garden lovers for daily use, that they are proud of.
