1st quality beaten Jute rope – in various thicknesses – For braided Jute see elsewhere on this site.
Jute is a long, soft, shiny, vegetable fiber that can be spun into rough, strong threads. It is obtained from plants of the genus Corchorus, which are mainly found in warm, humid areas, for example in India, Bangladesh and China. Jute is one of the cheapest natural fibers, and the second most widely used after cotton. The fibers of jute are composed mainly of cellulose and lignin. Soft natural fibers are supple, soft but also very hard-wearing. Rope made of soft natural fibers is not intended for hoisting, therefore we do not specify a minimum breaking force for this. Also, the thickness of natural materials may vary due to quality differences at harvest.
Beaten Jute is quite stiff but becomes more flexible later in use.
