It's a very nice weight, not too heavy and not too light. It has a nice texture. The only thing you should know is that it has a very loose weave, so the threads snag easily. It may not be a issue for you, but my cat has already snagged it and snapped two threads. I was able to knot them together and it doesn't show in the weave. So, this probably isn't going to be good for children or anywhere it may get a lot of wear, but if you are careful around it you should be happy.
