"Woven cloth" is the star of strong fibre-reinforced-plastic (FRP) construction. It strangely is sized in ounces per square yard instead of square foot and comes in weights from 1/4 oz per square yard to 10 oz per square yard. It comes in '''plain weave, satin weave, 8-hs weave''', other?, patterns. Get the plain, it's plenty strong and cheaper. You can usually use 1.5 oz, as this is what you want for 99.99% of your high strength layups.
