Jute is a versatile, natural fiber that has been used for thousands of years to make things such as rope, twine, bags, rugs, and much more. These fibers come from the plant stalk instead of the leaves, so the fibers are softer than some other natural fiber rugs. Jute rugs more closely resemble wool more than the other natural fibers. Jute holds up well under high traffic areas such as hallways, family rooms and entryways, medium traffic areas such as dining rooms and the home office and low traffic areas such as bedrooms and formal living rooms.
