Does sisal vary in quality?
Yes! High quality sisal flooring begins with the selection of the fibers. Only clean, white fibers with a long staple length are selected for Merida carpets. The dying and weaving process also sets Merida ‘s products apart. Our sisal is machine-combed nine times to soften and separate the fibers and to remove any traces of dried leaf tissue. This laborious combing process adds to the high-quality luster of Merida Meridian’s finished product. The combed fibers are fiber dyed (individually) prior to being spun, producing a superior color-saturated yarn that adds to the depth and beauty of the finished product. The fibers are spun using Merida ‘s Katani Bora yarn spinning system, then woven into broadloom by skilled European weavers on modern power looms.
