Burlap fabric by the yard is commonly used where strength and a natural look are desired—think market sacks, garden wraps, and textured home accents like table runners and wall art. In upholstery it serves as a durable backing or as an exposed material for industrial or farmhouse styles. Crafters and event stylists favor burlap for wedding décor, signage, and DIY projects because it combines affordability with strong visual character.
Burlap is woven in a loose, open plain weave from coarse jute yarns that give it breathability and robust tensile strength. Pure jute offers excellent biodegradability and an earthy hand, while jute–cotton blends improve softness and reduce fraying. Though durable, burlap can shed fibers and benefit from edge-finishing or lining in garments and upholstery. Treated or coated burlap variants increase water resistance and longevity for outdoor uses, making it a versatile choice for both practical and decorative applications.
