Rough fibre is a term used to describe a type of natural fibre, such as JUTE, which has a coarse texture. JUTE is a long, soft, shiny vegetable fibre that can be spun into coarse, strong threads. It is obtained from the stem and ribbon-like outer skin of the JUTE plant and is mainly cultivated in India, Bangladesh, China, and Thailand. JUTE is one of the most affordable natural fibres and is second only to cotton in amount produced and variety of uses.
