Why Jute Twine?
Garden twine sounds simple. It is not — when the wrong specification causes it to cut into
plant stems, degrade in the first week of outdoor use, leave synthetic residue in compost, or
fail to hold the load it is being used for.
Jute twine is the natural fibre standard for garden, horticulture, packaging, and craft
applications because it solves all of these problems simultaneously. It is soft enough not to
abrade or cut plant tissue when used to tie and train growing plants. It is strong enough to
support climbing plants, bundle cut flowers, and secure packaging through a distribution
supply chain. It biodegrades at the end of its use — in compost, in the soil, or simply
outdoors — without leaving residue. And it has the natural, handcrafted aesthetic that the
garden, artisan food, and natural product retail sectors want to communicate.
Single-Ply Jute Twine
Single-ply jute twine is a single twisted strand of jute fibre — the lightest and finest jute
twine specification. Soft, flexible, and easy to tie and knot, single-ply twine is used for light
tying, bundling, labelling, and decorative applications where strength is secondary to ease
of handling and natural appearance.
Ply: Single Diameter: Fine Strength: Light-duty Biodegradation: Yes — seasonal outdoor
use Best For: Plant training and tying, flower bundling, gift and packaging ribbon, craft and
decorative applications, labelling
Two-Ply Jute Twine
Two-ply jute twine twists two jute strands together, producing a stronger, more durable cord
than single-ply with a slightly thicker profile that is easier to grip and handle. The most
widely used jute twine specification in general horticulture, gardening, and agricultural tying
applications.
Ply: Two Strength: Medium-duty — the standard general-purpose specification
Biodegradation: Yes Best For: General plant tying and training, vegetable garden support,
packaging and bundling, agricultural tying
Three-Ply Jute Twine
Three-ply jute twine combines three strands for significantly higher tensile strength and
abrasion resistance than two-ply. Used in heavier agricultural, packaging, and industrial
tying applications where the twine must hold larger loads or withstand repeated handling.
Ply: Three Strength: Heavy-duty Biodegradation: Yes Best For: Heavy-duty agricultural
bundling, packaging cord, sack closure, industrial tying, trellising support for heavy cropping plants
Coloured Jute Twine
Jute twine is available in dyed colours across all ply specifications — matching brand

packaging. Dyed with fibre-reactive dyes for consistent colour through the strand cross section.
