Have you tried retting it any ? I always wondered if it would give useable fine fibres, but never got around to trying it.

This autumn, I made some cordage with dried day lily leaves.
I do like to experiment.
I found dry bamboo leaves useless, which I would have thought would have made reasonable cordage.
In South America they make rope bridges out of grass ropes. Amazing to see how they do it.
