Muka (Harakeke Flax Fibre)

Muka is a traditional Māori fibre extracted from harakeke (New Zealand native flax), used for weaving and the creation of taonga.

Today, quality muka is not always readily accessible. The process of preparing muka is time-consuming and requires skill to extract clean, consistent fibres to a high standard.

The Haka Shop provides high-quality, processed muka, carefully prepared using traditional techniques passed down through our whānau. We carry out the harvesting and preparation so it is ready for weavers to use.

Each whenu (strand) is handled with care and respect for the tikanga and traditions behind this resource.

Suitable for experienced weavers or those working within tikanga-based practice.

Enquiries welcome for supply and availability.
