I love lauhala mats on my floor, and am looking for a large one (8x10 would be perfect). Walmart used to carry them, but no more (at least temporarily) and Ace carries smaller ones. Anyone know where to find a larger selection of sizes of lauhala mats? They feel so good under bare feet....

ben franklin crafts usually carries large sizes, also check the downtown ACE or wait for walmarts next shipment for best prices....

Are laulau mats hard to keep clean? Unfortunately everyone wears shoes in the house.

lauhala mats get full of dirt and sand and have to shaken out outside occasionaly.

I seem to remember a vendor or two of mats at Merrie Monarch??? (again, fuzzy brain...just it seems like they had some there... or SHOULD have some there, or I saw them on stage & ....)
Anyhooo, if they have them, it is only a couple of weeks ... or you could weave your own...
