Jute is a substance that is used to make cloth and rope. It comes from a plant which grows mainly in South-East Asia. a natural substance that is used for making rope and rough cloth (and jut). Either of two herbaceous annuals (Corchorus capsularis and C. olitorius, in the linden family), or their fibre. The plants grow 10-12 ft (3-4 m) high and have long, serrated, tapered, light green leaves and small yellow flowers. Jute has been grown and processed in the Bengal area of India and Bangladesh since ancient times. Its biggest use is in burlap sacks and bags, which are used to ship and store many agricultural products. High-quality jute cloths are used as backing for tufted carpets and hooked rugs. Coarser jute fibres are made into twines, rough cordage, and doormats
Glossy "golden fiber" of Bangladesh, that country's major export Leaves from growing plant are used as a vegetable Stalks reach eight to twelve feet in three to four months, and are then ready to harvest Workers cut stalks near the ground and tie them in bundles For two to three weeks the bundles are soaked in water to allow them to rot Fibers are then pulled off the stalk by hand; waste is used for fuel Available in several grades--white jute is used for handicrafts; lesser grades are used for rug backing and burlap bags After a thorough washing, the fiber turns white and is ready to be sun-dried, then used Jute that has been soiled or has darkened with age can be hand washed in a mild bleach solution, then rinsed well and dried to restore its light, golden color Avoid over-washing--jute loses its tensile strength and begins to deteriorate when washed
The fiber is much used for making mats, gunny cloth, cordage, hangings, paper, etc

is a tropical annual (genus Corchorus) of the Linden family The weak fiber has a low cellulose content But, since it is easily dyed and spun, it is useful for coarse fabrics such as burlap and sacking, and for twine, rope, and insulation Nylon was developed by a du Pont chemist as a synthetic polymide to replace silk, rayon, and jute just before the second world war
