- Note
- "Hessian (UK: /ˈhɛsiən/, US: /ˈhɛʃən/), burlap in the United States and Canada, or crocus in Jamaica and the wider Caribbean, is a woven fabric made of vegetable fibres, usually the skin of the jute plant or sisal leaves. It is generally used (in the crude tow form known as gunny) for duties of rough handling, such as making sacks employed to ship farm products and to act as covers for sandbags (although woven plastics now often serve these purposes), and for wrapping tree-root balls. However, this dense woven fabric, historically coarse, more recently[when?] is being produced in a refined state, known simply as jute, as an eco-friendly material for bags, rugs, and other products." - (en.wikipedia.org 05.03.2024)
