Handspun Jute, Seagrass & Sisal Rugs *NEW* 2012

Classic Home rugs made from Natural Fibers are great for neutral/natural decorating.

Jute — From tall, reedy plants that grow during the rainy season in India. The plants grow fast, so the fibers are flexible. The Jute fibers are spun into yarn of different gauges and density. Jute can be dyed and has a texture which is slightly harder than cotton, yet still soft to the hand.

Seagrass — From tall, reedy plants grown in salt-water paddies. Seagrass is dense and durable. It is naturally stain-resistant with a smooth, hard shell covering the inner fiber. Seagrass will not accept dye, so the color is always beige with a green cast, or dark brown if it has been aged. Our rugs are woven from fresh, dried seagrass.

Sisal — From the Agave plant. These are the long leaf cactus type plants that grow in arid climates. Yes, Tequila and Mescal are made from the same plant. The fibers are strong, but not as soft as Jute, or as smooth as seagrass. Sisal yields a more refined yarn, so the rugs are more suitable in formal settings. Pronounced with a long "i" . . . Si-sal.

All Jute rugs are reversible.

Rug Pads are recommended for all rugs, regardless of Latex Non-Slip Backing for further protection of your floors. Please purchase rug pads from your local Home Improvement store suitable for your type of flooring.
