In
North America, the Stuart Hurlbert Company represents Sidlaw
Trading of Scotland, long time suppliers of high quality
JUTE backing yarns for woven carpets.
Sidlaw
yarns are the standard worldwide for Wilton and Axminster carpets.
Sidlaw pioneered the development of strong, smooth, and level
JUTE carpet yarns, enabling weavers to increase loom speeds,
and get far better production than with "regular"
quality backing yarns.
Crafts
Many
Hurlbert products find applications in craft projects, where
the coarse texture and rugged good looks of natural JUTE and
FLAX yarns are appreciated.
One
of the major craft markets we serve is FLAX and JUTE backing
fabrics used across the continent in making hand hooked rugs.
