Here are some images from a Bing search.

Hi,
It is rough, but I would not say that it is a heavy weight fabric, I have worked with some cottons that would be heavier than it. Quite grainy in texture however. I would probably not have used it to cover chairs as my Gran did, I do not think that it is robust enough for that.... but it would have done for curtaining. I will look at the link. Thanks
