Ohh thanks for the info! Did you see how they curl it so equally? I thought this was machine made but on closer inspection you're right, it's hand made.

It’s an amazing art and if I remember correctly from speaking to then years ago they said it’s a dying art they are trying to preserve. They do it all by hand with precision. This is not the exact retailer I bought mine from but I found a video on YouTube that shows exactly how it was done when I saw it live. It was a family who made the ones I got and their young daughters where doing it like freaking pros. It was so impressive and mesmerizing.
