Single warp plain weave jute fabrics, manufactured
in varying weights and widths, weighing up to 500 g/m2 are commonly known
as hessian.
Hessian fabrics are lighter than sacking fabrics. Hessian
is used for bags and many other coarse fabric uses, such as wrappers, wall coverings, etc.
Presently, shopping bags are being made out of hessian fabrics. It is also used in the
upholstery and home furniture.
