WHAT IS GRAIN SACK?

Treasures from the past. Original grains sacks were hand made from long linen bolts that were painstakingly handwoven. It took the average weaver 1 night to weave 60 centimeters ( 24 inches) of this lovely fabric. The stripes commonly seen on these textiles acted as the signature of the farmer so that when they brought their grain to the mill, their sacks could be distinguished from the grain sacks of everyone else. This is why you will find such a wide variety of stripes! The plain sacks would have been either stamped or monogrammed for the same purpose.

On the other end of the spectrum jute or hessian sacks, or what may be more recognizable to some as burlap sacks, were also for agricultural use. These were stamped with beautiful rustic lettering and designs, often in black but sometimes in multiple colors. In this way hessian sacks often tell us exactly what they were used for or at least the company that owned them right on the bag!
