sort out the still fresh & strong then dried up to about 80% dry and then plait / braid...

in my opinion, you can try to soak it in water, or boiled (to fastened the process) ... this will separate the strong fiber ..... and you will see a strong fiber and fine ...... but mostly found fibers are stronger when woven or become elongated coiled like a rope ..

I hope this is helpful.

I know next to nothing about fibers, so I'm hoping kom the "banana fiber expert" will fill in any important details I might omit.

After harvesting my first banana plant, it was almost impossible not to notice that the center fruiting stalk had very thin, soft and extremely strong fibers.

Upper and lower sections of a pseudostem after harvest.
