4 x 4 Monks Cloth per 14" x 14"

What is Monks Cloth?
Monks cloth is a hard-wearing basket weave fabric with versatile uses that include decorative household projects (more on that later) and making virtually rip-proof robes or tunics. Here are some of the core features of this cloth and what makes it one of the most reliable foundation fabrics for punch needlework.
Coarse and Durable: The texture is usually coarse, although you’ll find that premium quality monks cloth is often soft-to-touch. Whether smooth or rough, monks cloth is highly durable thanks to the thread running through it.
 
Loose and Even Weave: Monks cloth is woven in an even 4 x 4 weave by passing four weft rows over and under four warp threads. It has the classic checkered appearance of a basketweave. This fabric is loose enough for the needle to glide through easily and tight enough to hold the yarn in place.
 
100% Cotton: Most varieties of this fabric are made of pure, heavy cotton. You might also find it in linen. Either way, it is a tough fabric equipped to withstand the pressure of punch-needle work.
 
Drapes Well: The reason this fabbric has been such a popular choice to craft long flowy robes of monks is that it drapes amazingly well. It’s neither too stiff nor not too flowy and has a nice fall to it.
