We, at Just Weaves work with natural fibres and intend to introduce products to you that may be incorporated into our daily lives. These handcrafted and hand woven artifacts not only enhance the style quotient of your ambience, but also, acknowledge with gratitude, the labour of skilled hands of weavers and artisans.

The humble yet sturdy jute fibre intrudes into our homes by way of shopping bags and maybe jute table mats, however, beyond this we perhaps have not thought or searched for jute products that can be embraced to make everyday living in sync with nature.

It would be wise to evoke the knowledge about jute, gained in our school days, which unfortunately have dissipated over the years.

Known as the ‘golden fibre’ jute is one of the longest and most used natural fibre for various textile applications. Jute is one of the most affordable natural fibres and considered second only to cotton in amount produced.

Environmental benefits
Jute fibre is 100% bio-degradable and recyclable and thus environmentally friendly. Cultivating jute in crop rotations enriches the fertility of the soil for the next crop. Jute also does not generate toxic gases when burnt.

Uses of Jute

Jute is a versatile fibre. A key feature of jute is its ability to be used either independently or blended with a range of other fibres and materials. While jute is being replaced by synthetic materials in many of these uses, some take advantage of jute’s biodegradable nature, where synthetics would be unsuitable. Examples of such uses include containers for planting young trees, geotextiles for soil and erosion control where application is designed to break down after sometime and no removal required.

The major manufactured products from jute fibre are: Yarn and twine, sacking, hessian, carpet backing cloth and as well as for other textile blends. It has high tensile strength, low extensibility, and ensures better breathability of fabrics. The fibres are woven into curtains, chair coverings, carpets and area rugs and are also often blended with other fibres, both synthetic and natural. The finest threads can be separated out and made into imitation silk. Jute can also be blended with wool.
