I purchase a huge roll of sisal string to use... sometimes as string, but mostly I unravel it for the fibers
Cut a length of sisal string... Look carefully at the string to see which way the fibers are wound
Twist the fibers in the opposite direction to loosen
Work your way down the length of the string
Fluff out the fibers
