Genuine Rush
Genuine rush is not recommended for beginners. Rush is flat Cattail
leaves from Upper New York State which have to be twisted into a strand
for
weaving, two or three strands being used. About 3 lbs required for a
chair seat 14"x14". Genuine rush cannot be returned for credit or refund.
Minimum Order: 5 lbs. Can be shipped via UPS.
Seasonal Item--not always available. Generally harvested July/August.
Pre-Twisted Indo Rush
This material simulates Genuine Rush but since it is pre-twisted, it
is woven with the ease of Fiber Rush.
Pre-Twisted is light green in
color, but will eventually darken with age. Available in 2 sizes:
