These unique placemats are made out of sisal which is grown either on farms belonging to the basket weavers, or else purchased from sisal estates in coast province of Kenya. The leaves of the sisal plant are used to obtain a fibre which is rolled to twine, and then be woven. The Taita ladies from the Kasigau Weaver’s Group dye the fibres themselves and then roll the twine on their lap. It is a very labour intensive art. The placemats come in a number of different colours and patterns, with each design entirely made up by these artistic Taita ladies! They come in sets of 2 and 2 sizes Small or Medium.
