Have you considered this stuff?

It's latch hook canvas. The weave is a bit more open than burlap, so it might not work for your purpose. :idunno

Thanks OldGuy, it may be a little too open for lining some baskets that will have plants in it. It looks nice for decoration though.

I bought the regular industrial stuff, and some of the lime green since that's what my front door is painted. I've been matching pots and planters with lime green and teal. Love that color combo!!! :)

I was in Hancock today and was amazed a the color choices and PRINTS that are out in Burlap. Seems it is all the rage in decorating, too!

I want the bags the beans came in. I bet they smell wonderful. when I saw this topic 'burlap' I was excited. I don't know what it is about burlap, but I love the stuff. it's kinda like a little piece of the past that is still functioning.

If you need a lot of it, Uline sells large rolls of burlap. No special colors, just brown.

I have one from somewhere. Don't remember where it came from, but it still smells like coffee beans well after 10 years or more.

I have seen a "gardening in burlap" show on PBS. They filled sacks with soil and a center of gravel and planted them with veggies on unused city lots. Looked pretty interesting -- a lot like gardening in straw bales.
