What is Hessian?
From Wikipedia.org
Hessian (pronounced /ˈhɛsi.ən/) (or burlap in the U.S.) is a coarse woven fabric usually made from skin of the jute plant or sisal fibers, or may be combined with other vegetable fibres to make rope, nets, and similar products. Gunny cloth is similar.
The name 'burlap' appears to be of unknown origin. However, it may originate from the Indian city of the same name. The name 'hessian' is attributed to the use of the fabric, initially, as part of the uniform of soldiers from the German state of Hesse.
Hessian was first exported from India in the early 19th century. It was traditionally used as backing for linoleum, rugs, and carpet. It is now being extensively used for erosion control, often in association with hydromulching.
