The making of piupius is such a Maori handcraft which I am sure quite a number of women's groups would derive benefit from learning. Here are some points on the making of a piupiu by Mrs Rangimarie Hetet, of Ngati Maniapoto. “I would very much like to have a piupiu, I wonder how I would set about to make one? Also what sort of flax would one use?” Mrs Rangimarie Hetet: “The best flax for making piupius is the type known as the Taiore.” I: “How are these intervals fixed on the flax?” R: “You stretch the flax out on a board and Flax has to be carefully prepared before weaving as is shown in this photograph of the women of Judea Pa, Tauranga, for the mats of their meeting house.
