BURLAP

Hessian, also known as burlap in the United States and Canada, is a coarse, plain-woven fabric made from the fibers of the jute plant (Corchorus olitorius and Corchorus capsularis). It has a long history and has been used for various purposes. Hessian is made from thejute plant, primarily grown in regions with a tropical climate. Jute plants are harvested when they reach maturity, usually after 120 days. The fibers are found in the plant's stem, and they are extracted through a process called retting, where the harvested stems are soaked in water to separate fibers. After retting, the jute fibers are separated from the non-fibrous parts, usually through a process called "stripping." The extracted fibers are then bundled and dried. Once dried, the jute fibers are spun into yarns or threads. These yarns can vary in thickness, depending on the use of the hessian fabric.

This material is very malleable, easy to work with and can be used in home decor to renew furnishing accessories, or give a rustic chic touch to your spaces. Moreover, hessian is widely used in handmade and home decor. Nowadays, Indian Jute is the finest available on the market; the color of this material goes from white to yellow for the finest materials, to brownish for the cheapest ones.
