What is sisal?
Sisal fiber is obtained from the Agave plant, whose fibers are coarse, long and extremely strong. Merida sources the world’s highest quality sisal from the Agave plantations of East Africa, and weaves the fibers in Belgium, where the laborious process includes combing the fibers nine times and dyed individually prior to being spun. Sisal carpets are naturally sound-absorbing, antistatic, and extremely durable because of the inherent qualities of this tough, hard wearing fiber.
