Thick Heavy Linen Canvas

[Gaius Decius Aquilius]

There is a flax linen made in different weights that is a pale brown color.

I thought linen was made from flax. Are there more kinds of linen?

There is "linen" made from cotton called linen. Fine weave with high tensile strength, often mixed with polyester. Linen can be a catch all phrase meaning anything to do with table ware or the bedroom. There is a rough cotton linen with an uneven weave called "Onasberg" or something like that. It is used for lining drapes and in some furnature. Cheap and good for undergarments or lining that itchy wool tunic. Also good for layering between the flax linen for that padded look. You can get this at the Hobby Hell chain store chains. Or rip it out of your Aunt Trudy's drapes for free.
