Don't laugh but didn't we call that type of fabric (back in the 60's) something like hopsacking? The mind is going ladies...lol

It looks like a cotton/linen blend.

Looks like a linen. I bought some table runners made with something like this fabric in Austria a couple of years ago. Not a good quality fabric, but pretty patterns.

I agree with beth, it looks like osnaberg. It is so great to have in your stash, makes wonderful backs for placemats, potholders, etc. Did you know that it is just yummy for faux chenille, it fluffs just great?
