Jute is known for its long, soft and shiny fibers

Sisal-Eco Friendly Area Rugs

Sisal-Eco Friendly Area Rugs are a smart choice for your home. Sisal rugs are woven from a strong natural plant fiber, specifically coming from a cactus plant named Agava Sisalana that grows in Africa and Brazil. Agava Sisalana has always been gardened for its internal, tensile fibers that people ultimately make into rope and twine.
