The Minerva Coloured Hessian Jute Fabric in Jade Green is designed for crafters and home decor enthusiasts who want to incorporate a rustic, natural aesthetic into their sewing projects. Featuring a robust 290gsm weight and a distinct open weave, this fabric offers excellent structural integrity for bags, table runners, and storage solutions, though it is worth noting that the coarse texture may be too abrasive for close-contact apparel.

Generally no; the coarse, open weave is highly abrasive and is better suited for home decor and accessories than garments.
It is not recommended to machine wash this fabric as it may shrink, lose its shape, or unravel significantly.
This fabric is approximately 290gsm, which qualifies as a medium-to-heavyweight textile.
While the color is stable, it should be kept away from excessive moisture to prevent potential fading or transfer.
It is ideal for bags, storage baskets, decorative cushions, table runners, and light upholstery.
Apply a fray-check sealant to the edges or zigzag stitch the perimeter before handling the fabric extensively.
Switch to a larger needle size (100/16) and ensure you are using a slightly longer stitch length to accommodate the open, coarse weave.
When preparing your project, it is recommended to serge or zig-zag stitch the raw edges immediately after cutting to prevent significant fraying. If you need to remove creases, use a low-heat steam iron, but avoid prolonged contact to prevent singeing the natural fibers. This fabric is best kept dry; spot cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method for maintenance. When sewing, a universal 90/14 or 100/16 needle paired with an all-purpose polyester thread will yield the best results for a strong, reliable seam.
