In Indian culture it is thought to be re-incarnated window cleaners, but I believe it to be a cotton linen cloth that used to be used in tailoring.

Scrim is a simple product of advanced technology. A web-like product, scrim's fibers are chemically bonded. Scrim is superior to other fabrics because the fibers are not crimped by weaving, they can be joined at a greater variety of angles, and scrim can be produced at far greater speeds. Scrim is strong, flexible, and can be fire retardant...........................
