With its soft silky luster, jute is a fine natural fiber. Jute carpets are best suited to areas of the house such as sitting rooms and bedrooms, rather than the more heavily used areas such as halls and passageways. Jute is a very versatile, adaptable yarn which weaves well, looks and feels good and comes in natural tones.

Manufacturers of jute products have been experimenting with jute by mixing it with a variety of other fibers. It can also be mixed with wool and linen, enabling more color variations, and improving durability, so the jute/wool/linen mix can be used throughout the home except for in kitchens or bathrooms.

Designs
Carpets are available in many designs but the two popular distinctive weaves are Bouclé, and Herringbone. The natural jute carpet comes with a felt backing, in a herringbone design, and the mixed fibers different colors and designs. They can be fitted on underlay and gripper, stuck down directly to the floor or loose-layered.
