Jute Area Rugs -
Beautifully Crafted
Jute Rugs are finely woven and make wonderfully soft natural floor coverings.
They are ideal for lighter traffic areas of your home, such as bedrooms or guest
rooms.
The golden fiber
Jute fiber comes from
a tall plant that grows in the hot wet climates of China, Bangladesh, India and
Pakistan. Jute, known as the golden fiber, is removed from the inner bark of the
long stalk of the plant.
The plant fiber has been used throughout India for centuries to make strong
yarns and fabrics. The fiber has anti-static properties and is naturally fire
retardant.
It is used to make all sorts of bags, from handbags to shopping bags.
Traditionally used for carpet backing, the use of jute has grown in the flooring
industry.
Today, different weights and dimensions of the yarn are used to create different
textures in jute rugs. Fine and silky fibers make a softer luster while thicker
fibers make larger patterns, which are ideal for an old world, rustic look.
The golden fiber
naturally comes in colors from light tans to darker browns and these color
variations are what give natural jute area rugs a distinctive look.
Fibers can be dyed
into lively colors and make great decorative accent rugs.
