Two Person Sleeping Mat (color)

Korai is a natural product, a sort of thick grass grown locally for the purpose of weaving mats. It is a traditional bound material of south Indians which is crafted specially to suite western taste. Korai mat manufacturing is a tedious and long process. The Korai mats are made of Korai wefts pinned with cotton wraps. To make such mats, the Korai is soaked in running water for a week of time until it begins to rot, the central pith is then scraped off and each stem split into fine strands, dried and dyed. The finer the mat desired, the longer the Korai needs to soak and the thinner the weft strands will be. The number of warp threads also increases with finer mats.
