The Jute Industry: From Seed to Finished Cloth

"The Jute Industry: From Seed to Finished Cloth" by Thomas Woodhouse, is a comprehensive exploration of how jute goes from a plant in the ground to a usable textile. The book explains all the steps of growing, harvesting, and processing jute, pointing out how important it became to the textile business after proving its worth in World War I. Specifically, it shows how jute was not always seen as valuable as other fibers like cotton or wool, but its role in making military supplies during the war changed its status. The book walks through how jute came to be used in Britain, how the industry grew, and why it matters in making textiles today; it is meant to teach students and people working in the field by giving them a full view of the jute industry from start to finish.
