The textiles of the future are environmentally friendly textiles that are non-biodegradable. These textiles can be produced from natural plant fibers. Pineapple, as a bush fruit plant, has spiny and fibrous leaves. These fiber characteristics can be used as raw material for hygroscopic textiles. This research aims to discover the process of processing pineapple leaves as textile raw material using the Practice-Led Research method with 4 stages: discover, define, develop, and deliver. The research started with grouping leaf lengths, fiber extraction, drying, combing, and splicing the fibers. Splicing can be done by tying the fibers at both ends to form a bulge, and twisting 3 to 8 pineapple fibers as weft threads on an 8-campran machine with a 60 cm comb with a density of 40 fibers according to the desired fiber twist size. The twisted fibers are combined with 60/2 warp threads to produce ageometric textile woven structure. The finished weaving results show the surface and fall of pineapple leaf fibers as a distinctive and unique textile that the public likes.
