Dip-dying and tie-dying sisal grass by hand creates a fabulous cloud-streaked effect in soothing shades. Made by a weaver named Bernard, he produces each one of these sisal mats himself on a hand-loom, having learned this complicated craft through a UN-funded project over twenty years ago. Sisal is a fibrous grass often used for producing rope. Once harvested, its leaves are split, rolled and dyed by hand before Bernard meticulously works them through the loom to create a fine, flat weave that feels lovely underfoot.
