Jute Yarn knitted or crocheted is the must have for summer! Here are some ideas for Bags and Accessories

Summer is the perfect time to give shape to many new creative ideas that are very useful as well as beautiful, and Jute is one of the materials that is best matched to achieve extraordinary results.

This natural and sturdy material lends itself perfectly to the creation of summer bags and accessories with a rustic and sustainable feel.

Why Choose Jute Yarn

Jute yarn offers many advantages over other materials. It is a natural fiber that is biodegradable, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
Its robustness ensures that the products made are durable and strong, for example, Jute bags do not need to be lined internally with fabric as is often the case with cotton ones.

Last but not least, jute yarn has a rough texture that gives your creations a rustic, handcrafted, Country Chic look.

Is it better to work Jute with needles or crochet?

You can really range in techniques with this yarn: jute is beautiful whether knitted or crocheted. If you are working with accessories and especially if you do not feel like lining them internally one suggestion is to use “fabric stitches,” which are more compact and durable.

Jute yarn is often stiffer than other yarns and less pleasant, but as of this year there is a remarkable new yarn from
Lane Mondial Toscana!

Toscana is a yarn that combines the rustic beauty of jute with the pleasure of working with a soft but durable yarn.
You will find 5 different colorations, all very refined and unmissable.
