Seagrass

As its name implies, is a grass. It is grown in the paddy fields of China, and at a certain time of the growing season, the fields are flooded with seawater, hence the name Seagrass. After harvesting and drying, the Seagrass is spun into a strong yarn suitable for weaving. Its impermeability makes it hard to dye, so most products are natural in colour. It is latex backed for stability and to prevent slipping on wooden or tiled floors.
