Default Linen for proofing cloths

Does anybody have a source for heavy linen fabric suitable for making
proofing cloths?
The heaviest 100% linen I have found is about 5 oz/sq yd which make a
great dish towel, but isn't really heavy enough for a proofing cloth.
I found some very nice 12 oz hemp canvas and some 10 oz cotton duck.
The hemp works well (drapes nicely and holds flour beautifully) but is
not as absorbent as linen, and the cotton duck is very stiff and hard
to handle (does not conform to my baskets at all). Other suggestions
are welcome.
