Ischnosiphon species are traditionally used for weaving. In Suriname, the stems of several Ischnosiphon species, known locally as warimbo, are used for weaving baskets.[8] Similarly, in Peru, several species of Ischnosiphon including I. puberulus, I. arouma, and I. obliquus, known locally as huarumá (Spanish) and dexpe (Ticuna), are culturally important for making traditional fabric.[9][10]
