the name given to a coarsish type of plain fabric, originally made from flax yarns. It is now made from either flax, tow or jute yarns - sometimes flax or tow warp with mixed or jute weft, and often entirely of jute. The finer and better qualities form a kind of common sheeting, and the various kinds may contain from 20 to 36 threads per inch and 10 to 15 picks per inch.
