These spools of twine are 100% Tossa jute plant fibre, so have excellent sustainability credentials and the twine is biodegradable. We liked the fact that there was plenty of length on each spool and the range of attractive colours. The twine itself is soft and strong and good for a range of garden tasks that require string.
