Natural Fiber Rug' Characteristics

Sprouting

Natural fiber rugs may experience “sprouting” which is seen as small fibers sticking up from the rug for a period after it’s installed.

It occurs with predominately jute fibers. Jutefibers are short as compared to sisal fiber for example, and because our jute rugs are made from handspun jute yarn, the short fibers have a natural tendency to pop out. This is part of the natural character of these rugs, which are also hand-braided and hand-sewn.

Sprouting is common, and requires nothing more than clipping down the fibers that have popped up. Over time, the need for clipping back these fibers will diminish.

The process is similar to the initial shedding of a wool or synthetic fiber rug.
