What is jute?
Jute is a renewal resource--it is a type of plant fiber used to make common items such as rope, twine, chair coverings, curtains, sacks, hessian cloth, and carpets. This is accomplished by spinning the fiber into a coarse thread. 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. However, jute tends to lose its strength when wet, so it should be kept dry, if possible.
