Burlap

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Burlap is a densely woven fabric, usually made of jute and allied vegetable fibers.

Because it is strong and inexpensive, burlap is often used to make packaging, such as sacks and bags to ship goods like coffee beans.

Due to its coarse texture, however, it is rarely used for apparel.

Yet in some towns in Louisiana, a whip called quoit is made from braiden burlap, with which to lash Mardi Gras participants.

Burlap is also called hessian, hessian cloth or sack cloth.
