Dyed and Natural Burlap Jute Yardage / Table Runner Fabric
Unbranded · Art & Decor > Craft Supplies
Era / Decade
Modern 2010s-2020s (evidenced by the surge in rustic wedding and farmhouse decor trends)
Material
Natural jute fiber; open-weave burlap. The black and red pieces appear to be chemically dyed jute.
Condition
Fair to Good. Visible lint accumulation on the black piece, frayed raw edges, and irregular folding suggest these are remnants or leftovers from a previous project rather than new-on-bolt material.
Demand Level
Moderate. High demand during autumn and winter for holiday crafting (wreaths, table settings), but low as a 'pure' flip due to high shipping weight vs. low value.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$5.00 - $12.00 (bulk lot price for remnants)
Estimated Retail Value
$15.00 - $25.00 (based on roughly 2-3 yards of specialty colored and natural burlap)
Comparable Sales
Similar burlap remnant lots typically sell for $8-$15 on eBay, often sitting for several weeks unless bundled with more desirable craft supplies.
Description
A lot of three pieces of burlap jute fabric including charcoal black, vibrant red, and natural tan. These pieces feature a coarse, open weave and raw fringed edges, making them ideal for rustic crafts, farmhouse-style table runners, or holiday DIY projects.
Key Features
Pre-colored burlap (red and black) is more valuable than standard tan as it saves the crafter the messy DIY dyeing process; high-contrast colors are popular for Christmas and Halloween decor.
Authenticity Indicators
Generic craft material; high confidence that this is standard hobbyist-grade jute burlap. No brand markings to verify.
Flaws to Note
Significant lint and fiber transfer on the black fabric; raw, unhemmed edges that are prone to unraveling; visible creases from improper storage; potential 'earthy' jute odor common with these fibers.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace or Mercari. Local sale is best to avoid shipping costs which may exceed the item's value.
Selling Tips
Measure the exact length and width of each piece; buyers need dimensions for craft projects. Use a lint roller on the black piece before photographing. Use keywords like 'Rustic Decor,' 'Farmhouse Crafting,' and 'DIY Table Runner.'
