Visiting a Sisal Workroom

  • Lindsay Buzzo

Published May 2016 | Updated March 2024

I just spent the last two days visiting one of our new sisal suppliers. It was a great meeting, and I am excited about lots of the new products that we discussed adding to our site. More on these in a later blog. Besides being quite hospitable and innovative, they do a great job at rug finishing. Some of the details I observed during my visit to the sisal workroom were: hand-sewn mitered corners; padding between the binding and rug to prevent the pattern from telescoping through the binding; and attaching felt pads to the back. They also take great care selecting the proper serged yarns to use when serging rugs. This is harder than one would think.

for our thicker, patterned sisal rugs, we put a pad between the sisal and the binding to avoid the pattern being imprinted through the binding
