The Ocean Mat can also be known as The Sailor’s True Lover Mat Weave. Woven mats may be described as flat or two dimensional knots. Many of the patterns are taken from the tradition of sailors’ decorative work, although the knot forms are ancient and are  common to many cultures.

Rope mats have been used to be a feature on sailing boats, and also ashore – used as chafing gear, to protect against damage to deck timbers, or wherever necessary. The simplest design would have been made on a primitive loom, and was known as sword  matting.

To clean a manila mat – Just lay the mat down and hose it down on both sides and then lay flat to dry.
