I just read about that in TBB2. Page 250, jute makes a poor string.

I recommend using fastflight. It's a little more expensive than dacron but there is a noticable difference for me in the preformance.  There is less sound, less wrist slap and faster arrow speed. You can find it online and it can go under different names. (which I can't remember) Maybe someone else will offer some other names for fastflight so you can shop around.
