the flour sack towels available at walmart, etc are actually just basic
muslin. if you ask for cotton muslin at the fabric area you will have
a similar stuff.
The osnaburg I was given when I asked for it one place was a light
weight twill, which I love for pillows, but I've heard on other lists
that osnaburg is a heavy weight coarse muslin or plain weave fabric but
between muslin and burlap in weight and coarseness. FWIW, Kitty

I do not think that osnaberg is equivalent to flour sack material but this
is isn't based on anything solid.

Sylvia,
I was looking at Osnaberg at the store and it seemed too stiff; I'll have to
look again and take a towel along with me for comparison.
Thanks,

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to buy flour sack
fabric by the yard. I was introduced to the towels by my mother-in-law
and would love to use this fabric for other items but I'm having a
hard time finding it. Does it go by another name? Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
TIA,
Wendi
