The art of jute rugs weaving dates back thousands years - perfectly dyed jute rugs have been found in Neolithic remains. Hundreds years ago jute rugs weaving was a tradition of native craftsmen from South of Asia. In such countries as India, Bangladesh, Nepal jute rugs are still widely used. In the seventeenth century these beautiful jute rugs were popular in the British Empire.
Throughout history jute rugs have been treasured for their capacity to take and hold beautiful colors. The inner fibers of a jute stalk are very soft after retting, cleaning and combing and being spun into yarn. Even though the fiber is soft it is very strong and durable.
Natural jute varies in colors from light tans to browns – every colour is clearly visible in each rug. Perhaps the most interesting capacity is that jute rugs can change in color under sunlight. Juts rugs can be cleaned by shampooing or dry-cleaning.
The fiber of jute rugs also has a natural sheen that holds the look of fine silk. |
