Abstract	Owing to environmental concerns caused by the use of synthetic fibres, there is an urgent need to find new eco-friendly fibres. In addition, conventional cellulosic fibres are becoming costly due to an increase in production cost, therefore, sustainable alternative sources of eco-friendly fibres need to be explored. This study investigates the extraction and characterization of fibres from the Umbrella sedge plant and evaluates its potential as textile fibres. Umbrella sedge plant fibres were extracted using water retting and chemical retting methods and their mechanical, physical, and chemical properties were studied. The fibre’s chemical composition was established and alkaline extracted fibres contained.
