Generic Jute Burlap Fabric 91 cm Bolt 40" Wide Natural — Durable, Biodegradable Craft & Garden Fabric

Our burlap bolt from Pico Textiles blends rustic texture with long-lasting strength. Woven entirely from jute fibres, this fabric offers a coarse, organic surface that accepts dye, paint, and embellishment while remaining strong enough for functional tasks like wrapping root balls, making tote bags, or reinforcing upholstery projects. Sold by the yard in 40-inch-wide sections, each quantity equals one 1-yard bolt—order multiple yards for separate bolts rather than a continuous cut.

How does this burlap perform for craft and decor projects?

This jute burlap provides a natural, textured backdrop that holds shape and accepts a variety of finishes. Its open weave gives a handcrafted look for table runners, banners, wreaths, and rustic wedding accents while being sturdy enough to sew or glue without falling apart.

• 40-inch width supplies ample coverage for runners and panels with fewer seams.
• Coarse weave accepts paints, stains, and embroidery for customised decor.
• Durable jute fibres stand up to handling during assembly and display.

Is this burlap suitable for gardening and outdoor tasks?

Yes—being fully biodegradable and breathable, the fabric works well for plant protection, root wrapping, and temporary erosion control. Its natural fibres allow moisture and air to pass while offering physical protection during transport or transient outdoor use.

• Biodegradable jute minimizes environmental impact when used in soil or compost.
• Breathable weave reduces rot risk compared with plastic wraps.
• Tear-resistant structure helps protect roots and stems during handling.

How much should I order and how is it shipped?

Each quantity equals one 1-yard bolt of 40-inch-wide burlap. If you enter a quantity of 3, you will receive three separate one-yard bolts rather than one continuous three-yard piece. This packaging makes it easy to distribute materials across different projects or events.

• Quantity = number of individual 1-yard bolts shipped.
• Each bolt measures 40 inches across for broad coverage.
• Order more yards when you need longer continuous lengths; plan seams accordingly.

What fabric care and finishing tips work best with jute burlap?

Jute tolerates light handling but benefits from simple finishing to extend appearance and reduce shedding. Consider sealing cut edges, pre-washing for certain projects, and using stabilisers for fine needlework to maintain shape.

• Seal raw edges with fray-preventing stitch, glue, or heat-sealing tape for non-flammable crafts.
• Test dyes and paints on a scrap; pre-wash only if necessary to avoid excessive shrinkage.
• Use interfacing or backing fabrics for bags or upholstery to increase durability.
