Jute Carpet & Rugs


Jute



is one of the most luxurious natural flooring
made from the stems of the tropical herb Corchorus; a member of the Linden family closely related to hemp. After harvesting, the stems, tied in bunches, are soaked in water for two to three weeks and then pounded with wooden mallets to soften the fibres prior to drying and weaving closely woven due to the fine stranded nature of this fibre allowing fine texture closely woven due to the fine stranded nature of this fibre allowing fine texture, care with heavywear areas.

Cultivated in the hot, damp regions of Asia, Jute is the fibrous inner bark of a large herbaceous plant.
Harvested by hand, the plant stalks are softened in water, the fibres removed and sun dried. The dried fibres are then spun into yarn which has a silky lustre in a variety of natural shades, making it a very effective choice for many homes.
