AB - This work interconnected between human, culture, and technology in term of preserving songket, a traditional handwoven fabric, constructed by levering the yarn to be woven with other yarn using a non-machine weaving apparatus. To bring back the glory of natural fibers, this study aims to utilize oil palm trunk fibers as the raw material of the yarn for making songket. Methods of this experiment were included preparation of the material, collection of fibers by mechanical procedure, creation of the yarn by twisting of the fibers including addition of adhesive, and evaluation of the yarn including formation the songket prototype. Results of this work showed dimension of the length of the oil palm trunk fibers after mechanical treatment was 980 + 304 μm (moderate) and the diameter was 27+5 μm (large). The physical properties were 8.32+1.48 % for moisture content and 0.87+0.06 for specific gravity. After twisting of five fibers becoming yarn, the resulted Tex or grams of the yarn per kilometres were 40+8 Tex (without adhesive) and 75+9 Tex (with adhesive). Mechanical tests of the yarn were included tensile strength and the elongation. The values were 37+31 MPa and 4.6+1.9 % (without adhesive) and 24+12 MPa and 5.0+1.8 % (with adhesive). All these values indicated that these yarns were able to be woven as songket prototype however addition of the adhesive only influenced on the tex not the strength of the yarn.
