Harvested by hand and dried in the sun, jute is a extraordinary fine natural fibre with a silky soft lustre that transforms any interior.
With its silky soft lustre, jute is a finer natural fibre, best situated in areas of the house such as sitting rooms and bedrooms, rather than the more heavily used areas such as halls and passageways. It is a very versatile, adaptable yarn which weaves well, looks and feels good and comes in a wide range of natural tones.Jute comes from plant Genus Cochorous which grows in the hot damp regions of Asia, primarily in Bagladesh and India. These plants are herbaceous annuals which grow to a height of over three metres and the jute fibres are found in the inner bark of the stalks.
Harvested usually by hand, these stalks are traditionally steeped in a sluggish stream until the fibres can easily be removed. |
