burlap

Rough sack cloth

Burlap is a coarse, heavy fabric woven from jute or hemp fibers, used for sacks, upholstery, and craft projects.

Its rough texture makes it durable but uncomfortable against skin.

Burlap sacks traditionally hold agricultural goods like potatoes or coffee beans: The warehouse was stacked with burlap bags of grain.
