Description
These jute rope string lights bring a natural, rustic texture to Christmas decorating, with tiny LEDs set along a fine bare wire that winds around a thick twist of jute. There are 55 LEDs in all, and because the wire follows the twist of the rope, the glow follows its every curve. The jute has the soft, slightly hairy finish of real rope in a warm sandy brown. The wire is so fine that it almost disappears into the twist, leaving just the rope and its little points of light.
Because the rope holds a gentle curve, it drapes well along a mantelpiece, loops over a mirror or picture frame, or runs along a bookshelf or an indoor windowsill. It suits a Scandinavian or farmhouse look and sits happily beside greenery, pine cones and dried orange slices. It is just as much at home on a kitchen dresser as in the living room. It is an easy choice for anyone who decorates with natural materials rather than tinsel and glitter, and it looks good well beyond the festive season.
The construction is simple. The LEDs sit on the bare wire, and the wire is twisted around the outside of the rope rather than hidden inside it, which gives the lights their scattered, starry look. Jute is a natural fibre, so a few loose strands are part of its character. To keep it looking its best, dust it gently with a soft dry cloth, keep it away from damp, and handle the fine wire with care so that it stays evenly wound. For the most even spread of light, lay the rope out first and then shape it into loose swags rather than tight bends.
