Generally, yes. Seagrass is a fast-growing, renewable grass that is tough, and non-porous—it grows underwater so that’s a natural trait. It’s dried and machine-spun to create a yarn to make rugs from. Seagrass is a little lighter in color than jute and while you can’t wash it (vacuuming is fine), it’s quite durable otherwise. It does have a faint grassy odor when it’s damp, which most people find pleasing.
