Process of making Jute Fabric

Jute fabric is obtained from the jute plant. It is an annual plant, which thrives best in moist soil in a hot and humid climate. The seeds are hand-sewn and the plants mature in 3 months with an average height of 10 to 12 feet. It gets light green leaves and small yellow flowers, blooming singly or in clusters. When these blossoms start shedding, the plants are harvested.

The stalks which are cut is sorted according to the length and gathered into bundles. These stalks are placed in shallow pools of stagnant water to loosen the fiber from the woody tissue. After enough softness is achieved, the fibers are separated and hung on lines to dry. These fibers are then sorted, graded, and baled and send to mills for spinning it into final products.

The strength, color and fineness of jute grown in different areas vary. To make it uniform, the different fibers are first blended. The jute is next fed into a softener where it is treated with oil and water and is passed between sets of heavy spiral fluted rollers. This process removes barky portions from the fiber. The fibers are carded in machines reducing the average length by teasing and combing.

The carded jute is fed into drawing machines where it becomes thinner and smoother. After this, it goes to the roving department, where it imparts a slight twist to the sliver and is send for spinning. Spinning converts it into a finished yarn.
