Guano Cloth

Guano Cloth
GUANO CLOTH
A peculiar fabric manufactured in Jamaica from the tissue yielded by the lace bark tree (see Lace Bark). The bark of this tree gives what appears to be a very thin layer of gauze or intermeshed fibre fabric. The natives of the West Indies use these layers or sheets of fibre for making caps, ruffles and cloth.
