Weaving a Yucca Fiber Mat

In this episode, I demonstrate how to weave a yucca fiber mat. I take inspiration from an ancient mat on display at the Hutchings Museum in Lehi Utah. In the video I demonstrate harvesting, cooking, hammering, cutting and preparing the yucca, and then weaving it into a mat.
