The method disclosed relates to the production of paper yarn from cellulose-containing plant species, in the textile sector, and particularly relates to obtaining a paper yarn by a wet spinning method using high or low purity cellulose raw material isolated from the wild plant species of Calluna Vulgaris.

A method for isolating bast bark and wood bodies from a bast plant stem (18), whereby the bast plant stem (18) is formed internally by an essentially cylindrical wood body (9), and the wood body (9) is radially covered by a bast bark (3c) containing bast fibers, and is connected to the bast bark (3c) via a meristem tissue (11), which intends that the bast bark (3c) is separated by means of a tensile force (Fz) from the wood body (9), or at least from a constituent part of the wood body (9) through the division of the meristem tissue (11).

Method and apparatus for decortication of plant stalks, involving flattening the plant stalk into two substantially planar stalk sides adjoined at their edges; splitting the two substantially planar stalk sides one from the other; bending the flat stalk piece with the hurd on the outside of the bend and bast on the inside of the bend; separating the segments such that the bast pulls away from the hurd and spans the gap between the two segments; bringing a stripper into abutment with the spanning bast and moving the stripper so as to draw the bast, which strips the bast away from the hurd; and removing the bast from the stripper.
