I'm looking for some fabric to make a dress and the type I want is a kind of loose weave linen that is woven from a kind of 'rough' looking cotton yarnIt drapes very well but is not too heavyI have seen this fabric before but I don't know what it's calledAs I will most likely be buying the fabric on line, I need to know what i'm looking for!Thanks for reading, have a great day, Al
Try making a tight layer of the foil and measuring the thickness with something other than a micrometerThen divide by the number of layersWould this be accurate enough for you?
I doubt that it's burlap, as burlap does not drape wellIt might be a cotton linen, but the only way to be sure is to go to a fabric store and look around until you find what you are looking forYou can still order online, but at least then you will know you are ordering what you want.
