Seagrass CordSeagrass Cord

     Seagrass cord is a twisted product which looks like coarse string or fine rope. When new, it is the colour of freshly mown grass but it mellows to a rich golden colour as it ages. It is used in the making of seagrass chairs (a type of wicker chair found in Australia where the weavers are made from seagrass) and as a decorative material in basketry and other crafts. We have two sizes: very fine (2-3mm) and fine (3-3.5mm). Medium is not available at present. . Prices
