Seagrass and Sisal Area Rugs
Posted: 22 February, 2013 Filed under: Re-Blogs, Uncategorized Leave a comment »
Natural fiber rugs are popular in our southern climate and have been since antebellum times. Have you ever wondered what the difference between sisal, seagrass, mountain grass or jute?
SISAL
This is what most people call any rug made of a “grass”, but it is actually a specific plant fiber. It comes from the agave plant, but not the same species that makes tequila.
I'm a lover of sisal myself. It looks great and wears OK. It's a bit of a nightmare when it comes to lifting it up tho. eg on door thresholds or if a plumber has to get under the floorboards for whatever reason...it frays.
