Earth Rugs Kitten Braided Jute Trivet

The braided jute construction provides a thick, natural barrier that effectively insulates countertops and tables from hot pots and pans. While it is highly heat-resistant, we recommend avoiding direct contact with extremely high-heat cast iron taken straight from a burner.

Because it is made from natural jute fibers, this trivet should not be submerged in water or machine washed. If a spill occurs, spot clean the area immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow it to air dry completely.

The kitten motif is hand-stenciled onto the braided jute surface. This artisanal process gives each piece a unique, rustic character that complements the natural texture of the fiber.

Jute is a natural plant fiber with a textured, slightly coarse feel. While it is generally safe for most surfaces, we suggest using it on heat-resistant mats if you are concerned about potential micro-abrasions on highly sensitive or soft-finish furniture.

The braided construction is designed to be sturdy and dense, which helps it maintain a flat profile on your countertop. If it arrives slightly curled from shipping, simply lay it flat under a heavy book for a few hours to help it settle.
