Jute craft is one of the most practised livelihoods of the region and is derived from the fibre of an arid-like plant. The warm, humid climate of Gujarat with plenty of rainfall is best suited for this plant. Once the plant is ready for harvesting, it is cut very close to the ground and left on the ground for a day or two till the leaves fall off. The cut plant is then dipped in water to separate the fibre from the plant. This process is known as retting. The thus separated Jute is dried and given various forms. The fibre is knitted into threads. Sometimes the threads are woven to make rags and clothes. The cleaned fibre, the threads and the rags are all used to make beautiful craft products like file folders, laptopbagsg etc.
