What is it that makes hand braided jute rugs special?
Jute is a natural fiber which is known for it’s strength, biodegradability and organic beauty. We see that when this fiber is hand braided what we get is a rug which has texture and warmth. Also unlike machine made products each hand braided jute rug brings in its’ unique irregularities which in turn highlight the human element in its’ making.
These rugs are from another time yet still serve a practical purpose.
The Hand Braiding Process on Jute
Creating a hand braided jute rug is a detailed process which requires patience, precision, and traditional skill. How this is done by the artisans goes like this:.
1. Gathering and preparation of jute.
The first step is to choose high quality raw jute which we get from the jute plant’s stalk. We clean, soften and spin them into long rope like strands. This process sees to it that the material is flexible enough for braiding and at the same time strong enough to hold its shape and durability.
2. Winding threads together.
Skilled hands take what is prepared jute and begin the braiding process which is done by hand. We see this done in long strips which usually use a three strand braid, but we also see more complex patterns that play with many strands. The quality of the braid out and how even the tension is applied is key to a uniform and well shaped rug.
3. Winding and Sewing the Braids.
Once the braids are done they are wound into circular or oval shapes as the rug design requires. The coiled braid is then sewn together by hand or with a manual sewing machine which we use to secure the thread. This sewing process in turn secures the rug in to its finished form.
4. Tending and Polishing.
In some cases we add a light backer which improves wear and prevents the rug from sliding but also we trim out extra fiber and perfect edge details which we then check for even quality and integrity of the rug.
