A quick search turned up an essay "A Scandinavian Hauberget?" by M.
Nockert in:
Cloth and Clothing in Medieval Europe: Essays in Memory of Professor E. M.
Carus-Wilson, eds N.B. Harte and K.G. Ponting, 1983, Heinemann Educational
Books Ltd, London. ISBN 0-435-32382-2. pp 100-107.
In this she, describes it as a diamond (lozenge) 2/2 twill originally woven
on warp-weighted looms...
and references Carus-Wilson "Haberget: A medieval textile conundrum"
originally published in Medieval Archaeology, but I cannot remember which
book of mine reprints this.
I remember the issue (and the related issue "pallia fresonica") discussed
in other sources but they do not come to mind.
If memory serves, this term was later applied to a coarse woolen twill used
by poorer people and monks.
