Durable and elegant jute rugs, rooted from ancient tradition of rug making

Jute is a type of plant fiber used to make common items such as rope, twine, chair coverings, curtains, sacks, hessian cloth, carpets, and even the backing used on linoleum. This is accomplished by spinning the fiber into a coarse thread. Despite the fact that jute tends to be rough in texture, fine threads of it are sometimes used to create imitation silk. In addition, jute is increasingly being looked at as an alternative source for making paper, rather than cutting down trees for pulp.

The thread created from jute is quite strong, yet it is among the cheapest of natural fibers available. It also has exceptional insulating properties, low thermal conductivity, and antistatic characteristics. Nonetheless, synthetic materials are replacing jute in many applications, because they are still less costly to create and more efficient to use. This is partly because jute has a tendency to become brittle and to yellow in sunlight. It also tends to lose its strength when wet and can become infested with microbes when used in humid regions.

The elegant jute rugs are 100% natural. Natural jute varies in color from light tan to brown. This natural color is visible in each rug. Jute rugs date back to earliest days of rug making. Many of the current designs are rooted in the ancient making of rugs.
