What is the fabric?
In the old days, 100% cotton fabrics, which were raw and had no color treatment, were called matqal.

Types of context

Cotton
It is the highest quality and most common type of blanket and is made of 100% cotton material. If this fabric gets wet, it becomes 10 to 20 times more resistant than its dry state. Due to the use of cotton inside it, it is flammable, but to prevent flammability and also make it waterproof, special chemicals are added to this fabric.
Flax
Linen material is up to 3 times more resistant than cotton and has high moisture absorption. This fabric is easily wrinkled and has no elasticity, which means that if it is stretched, it will not return to its original shape. Mutaqal cotton is a favorite fabric of artists and they use it for painting canvas.
