As usual, I will list them with the origin, small summary about the rugs made from them and other information about it. So let us start now and here's the list:

The rugs made on this plant fiber can be characterized as a durable rug. It is known in using for fabricating sturdy and heavy-duty yarns and fabrics. The largest producer of Jute in the world is India, seconded by Bangladesh.
