All About Sisal

What is Sisal?

The production of sisal blends tradition, expertise, and resilience. It starts with extracting fibers from the sturdy leaves of the agave sisalana plant. These fibers then undergo processing steps, such as cleaning, sorting, and spinning, to create yarns of various thicknesses.

Process of Making Sisal

Sisal fiber is made from the leaves of the plant. The fiber is usually obtained by crushing the leaves to a pulp. The resulting pulp is scraped from the fiber, and the fibre is washed and then dried by mechanical or natural means. The lustrous strands, usually creamy white, average 40 to 50 inches in length and are fairly coarse. 

Why Sisal?

Sisal fiber is especially valued for its strength, durability, ability to stretch, and affinity for certain dyes. Because of its endurance, sisal is an excellent choice for functionality and style. With almost no waste byproduct coming from the sisal plant, this material is extremely cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
