Monterey Collection

Use this sew kit of jute twine and a hay basket needle to add seagrass squares to your rug or sew two rugs together to create a large rug. It has never been easier to create a large or custom size yourself!

Kit includes one needle and 141-feet of jute twine.

Note: The color and tone of natural fiber may vary slightly from harvest to harvest. If you are attaching multiple rugs or pieces, we strongly recommend purchasing all pieces together so that we can insure all items are fulfilled from the same harvest. We cannot guarantee that items ordered separately will match color-wise.

 

Our 1/4-inch rug pad is designed in a custom color which blends seamlessly with our collection of handmade seagrass and water hyacinth rugs.

Place your Rush House rug atop the rug pad and trim the rug pad to size with a pair of scissors. 

For best results, we recommend allowing the rug to lay flat and fully expand for several days before trimming the rug pad to size.

PLEASE NOTE: We do not accept returns on rug pads once packaging has been opened.

Our small sample set includes single squares from our three most popular rugs: The Rush House Original, The Marisol, and The Monterey. Sourced from seagrass, corn husk, and water hyacinth respectively, the sample squares showcase color and textural variations between our top-selling rugs.

Our largest sample set includes individual squares from each of our 6 top-selling rugs: The Rush House Original, The Monterey, The Marisol, The Annan, The Coringa, and The Mavis. 

A single square of braided water hyacinth  in 12-inch width. This item can be used as a sample or as a replacement square.

Similar in appearance to our Rush House Original, the Monterey rug is made from hand-picked water hyacinth. The grass is dried in the sun, braided, and sewn into one-foot squares. Offering a thick, durable weave and a beautiful, golden hue, this premium quality rug will not shed with time. Handmade by skilled artisans using traditional techniques passed down through generations, the Monterey rug offers unmatched character and texture that cannot be found in a machine-made counterpart. 

Custom rug sizes can be configured in one-foot increments with our Rug Calculator. Use our Twine & Needle Sew Kit to combine pieces. Ensure minimal color variation between harvests by ordering all connected pieces at once.

This rug is not backed. Our Rug Pads will extend the life of your rug. Sample squares available here. 

* Every rug is one-of-a-kind. Slight variations in color, weave, and size are expected. Rug thickness is 1/2-inch.

 

The Monterey round is handmade by artisans from hand-picked stems of the water hyacinth plant, which are carefully dried in the sun, braided, and woven into a circular pattern. This product will not shed and offers unique texture and character not found in any machine-made rug.

* This product is one-of-a-kind.  Slight variations in color, weave, and size are expected.

 

Use these 12 water hyacinth squares with our Twine & Needle Sew Kit to add square-footage to any size Monterey rug. To keep sewing simple, we recommend a maximum of 36 squares sewn onto any size rug. If you need help configuring your rug, try our Rug Calculator.

Note: The color and tone of natural fiber varies from harvest to harvest. If you're attaching multiple rugs and/or pieces, purchase all connected items at once for best color match.
