Burlap is a coarse plain-weave fabric made from jute or jute-look polyester — the open weave and visible slubs are the point, giving it a rustic texture nothing else matches. Our burlap collection is used for rustic and farmhouse weddings (table runners, chair sashes, aisle decor), crafts, gift wrapping, garden and nursery use, and display backdrops. Burlap is typically 40 to 108 inches wide, in jute or jute-look polyester. It sheds fibers when cut, so it is usually hemmed, bound, or used where a raw edge is acceptable; care varies by product — check the product listing. Because it is a natural fiber, expect slight color and weave variation from roll to roll. For weddings, burlap is often paired with lace overlays to soften the rustic look. Cut edges can be sealed with fray-check to control shedding on finished pieces. Burlap is among our most affordable fabrics, priced from $3.49 per yard, with full bolts at wholesale pricing for event planners and craft businesses buying in volume.

Frequently asked questions

Does burlap shed?
Yes — burlap sheds fibers when cut. Hemming, binding the edges, or spraying with a fabric sealant reduces shedding. Washing Burlap will shed the fabric more. Do not wash natural jute fabric.
Can you wash burlap?
No. Burlap is not machine washable; spot-clean it. Water can cause jute to stiffen unevenly and smell.
What is burlap used for at weddings?
Table runners, chair sashes, bouquet wraps, aisle decor, and favor bags — the rustic look suits farmhouse and outdoor weddings.
Does burlap have a smell?
Natural jute has an earthy odor that usually airs out in a day or two. Unroll it ahead of your event.
Do you sell burlap in bulk?
Yes — Burlap Jute fabric is available by the full bolt at wholesale pricing for event planners and craft businesses, with free US shipping on orders over $50. **New FAQs (5) — proposed:**
Will burlap irritate my skin if I wear it or sit on it?
Yes — 100% jute burlap is coarse and will scratch bare skin, so it's not a garment fabric. For chair sashes, runners, and table decor it's fine since contact is brief, but line anything that touches skin for long. Here's the thing: the same coarse texture that looks great in photos is what makes burlap rough, and washing doesn't soften it much. Imitation Burlaps and Vintage Linen are burlap lookalike jute fabrics with the 100 percent polyester fiber. These two products will not irritate the skin.
Can I paint or dye burlap for my wedding decor?
Paint works better than dye on burlap — acrylic fabric paint sits on the jute fibers, while dye comes out blotchy because the weave is so open. For stenciled table numbers or aisle signs, paint is the reliable choice. We recommend testing on a scrap because burlap drinks up paint fast and you'll need more coats than you expect.
How do I keep burlap table runners from unraveling at the ends?
Let the cut ends fringe on purpose — pull a few weft threads and you get a rustic fringe that looks intentional and stops further unraveling. If you want a clean edge instead, fold it under twice and sew with a heavy-duty needle, since a standard needle struggles with jute. Don't serge burlap expecting a tidy edge; the fibers shed and jam the serger.
Can I put candy or treats directly in burlap favor bags?
Don't put unwrapped food directly in burlap — jute sheds fibers that will stick to sticky candy. Put treats in a small cellophane bag first, then into the burlap pouch. You get the rustic look without fibers in the frosting.
Can I use burlap outdoors, or will it fall apart in the weather?
Short-term outdoor use is fine — burlap aisle runners and outdoor wedding decor hold up for a day or two. But jute absorbs moisture, so repeated rain or damp ground can make burlap stiffen, smell, or grow mildew. Take it in after the event and store it dry; burlap is not a leave-it-out-all-summer fabric.
