My wife has used it on fabric, but she says it comes out easily.

I would give RIT dye a try. Just make sure you "set" the dye with white vinegar.

I would try leather dye, like Feibing's or Lincoln's. It has worked on everything I have tried it on so far.

Jute twine seems to have an oil finish to it. You might try using alcohol with the dye so it will cut that oil.
Also check out Hobby Lobby, etc for colored jute twine.

I was at Michael's with my wife the other day and they had dark brown, natural, green and black twisted jute.
