Frequently Asked Questions
What is burlap fabric made of?
Burlap is a rough, plain-woven fabric usually of a jute-bass fiber. It is also sometimes made from hemp or other plant fibers, but the former comes first. The fibers are further spun into coarse and strong threads and then woven into cloth. This fabric is widely recognized because of the strength and roughness of its texture. Often burlap is used in making sacks, bags, and similar goods, and even in event tablecloths where the material should be strong.
What does burlap mean?
Burlap is a coarse kind of plain-woven fabric, commonly utilized to make sacks, bags, and other heavy-duty items. It is referred to as burlap in North America but in other regions of the world is also known as hessian or jute. The fabric is woven into a rustic appearance and is used often in gardening, interior decorating, and craft applications.
Is burlap waterproof?
The word waterproof does not go with burlap. The open weave in its fabric allows passage for water quite easily, which makes it inappropriate for applications requiring water resistance. Treatments can be imposed on burlap, enhancing its resistance to water. But this can lose its natural, environmentally friendly properties.
Untreated burlap absorbs moisture quite easily, making it vulnerable to the growth of mold and mildew if not well taken care of. For that matter, it is not recommended for prolonged exposure to water.
Is burlap eco-friendly?
In essence, burlap is considered to be eco-friendly due to the material from which it is made: natural and biodegradable fibers, such as jute or hemp. Since these plants grow quickly and need minimal pesticides and fertilizers, they are viable. The processing methods for burlap also have a relatively low impact compared with how synthetic fabrics are processed.
