Jute is the Central Asian plant, native to Nepal and India, with a very long history.

Jute is a fiber that is strong, woven and fine, which is why it is such a valuable resource for clothing and handicraft industries. About 90% of jute fiber is made into yarn for textiles. Fine, soft jute yarns are essential for the manufacture of delicate and varied jute products. Jute twine and jute yarn are popular for its softness and quality. Jute twine is spun and ready for use in knitting, weaving, making carpets, jute threads, and even medicine and skin care products.

Jute threads can be used to make fine jewelry and other attractive handicrafts. The best Jute weaves are made by using tightly woven (longer than usual) Jute threads. Weaving finer Jute wefts produces more intense colors and the resulting products have vibrant, lively colors. Long slender Jute threads with weft yarns of variable size are excellent for weaved bags, cushions, belts, scarves, and much more.

Most of the commercially available Jute weaves come pre-woven (printed) from Jute fibre. This means that they are ready for cutting, sewing, or embellishment; however they lack the texture and sheen of natural raw jute fiber. It is very difficult to find Jute fabrics that are 100% raw. Jute fabric may have some of the same sheen and texture as spun cotton but it cannot be 100% spun, unless the weave is very tight.

Jute fabrics do not need any special treatment before wearing. They are suitable for normal day-to-day wear as well as heavy duty industrial applications. Jute threads can be made into neckties, ties, shawls, throws, carpets, rugs, bed throws, hosiery, gloves, booties, handkerchiefs, scarves, headbands, scarves, belts and much more. Jute is also used to make silk-screening material.
