White (light brown,cream) coloured string is used to stitch the thatching to the bamboo rod. This type of thatch is of high quality, therefore your roof will last longer. Also the amount of thatch used on the bamboo rod is thicker. Black string is also used to stitch the thatch to the bamboo stick. This is mainly for local use in Bali, the thatch is thinner, as less thatch is used on the stick.
