A coarse linen or hempen fabric, or threads used for binding and fastening in manufacturing.
From burl (knot or lump in fabric) + lace (thread or cord), describing thread or tape used to tie off or finish coarse fabrics.
Burlace represents the textile industry's practical side—not the fine silks for nobility, but the tough bindings that held society's working clothes together.
