The distinct characteristics of our heavy weight burlap fabric make each piece unique. Burlap fabric is best known for its use as bagging, wrapping and in furniture manufacturing, but it has been popularized for hundreds of other uses. The simple elegance of our heavy, plain-woven burlapper burlap fabric makes it ideally suited for arts, crafts and sewing projects, rustic weddings, landscaping, interior decorating, banners and signage, school projects, and much more. Burlap is also known by the names gunny and hessian. Burlap fabric dimensions: 40 inches wide x 5 yards long (180 inches). This burlap was cut to length off of a 40 inch wide roll, at the mill, which means that both sides include a factory edge. This ensures the straightest edge possible and minimizes fraying. The photos shown depict the actual burlap fabric you will receive. The burlap fabric has been loosely folded and ships in a secure, clear poly bag. Buy with confidence.
