What is jute twine?

Jute twine is made from the natural, organic fibre – jute.

Harvested from the stem of a jute plant, the individual fibres are tightly spun to create a coarse three-ply twine, with a number of beneficial properties. For example, it's:

• Eco-friendly and biodegradable, perfect for those looking for a compostable solution that has a positive impact on the environment
• Lightweight and flexible
• Durable
• Resistant to heat and UV light
• Soft-to-touch, with a smooth yet hairy texture
• Suitable for knotting (good knot retention)

Typically, jute twine has a rustic, sandy brown colour. But it can also be easily coloured using a standard fabric dye – just like our green jute string. It can also be treated with tar, improving its weather resistance and making it more suitable for prolonged outdoor use.

What can natural jute string be used for?

Jute string is ideal for a variety of home-based applications, including:

• Arts, crafts, and hobbies
• Gift wrapping
• Packaging and parcels
• Gardening (e.g. to hang plants and handmade support climbers)

It's also commonly chosen for business purposes. For example, natural jute twine is often used to make compostable packaging that’s friendly to the environment or to create an eco-conscious product.

It's particularly useful in the horticultural industry, where it's used for supporting crops.

Tarred jute twine is often used on traditional boats for whipping.
